Perry Mason clip. Tragg thinks he's got Perry over a barrel

Tragg thinks Perry wiped prints off a car... not to be, Tragg disappointed again.

[@michaelo.8887]

The camaraderie among Mason, Tragg, Paul, Burger, and Della is among the best in TV history.

Always love when Tragg shows up, or Burger, and the interaction between them.

[@carymiller2403]

2:46 One of televisions best dramas. The theme alone is classic

[@desklamp1175]

I started watching the show in earnest. Well written.

[@ECO473]

It was always fun when Perry made a chump out of Tragg.

[@burtshoobs1033]

From the Case Of The Mystified Miner, aired 2/24/62.

[@majkus]

When Ray Collins was unable to continue as Tragg due to declining health, his name continued to be listed in the opening titles for more than a year. He was always welcome to return to the show if he felt up to it. They did have a good gradual transition to Lieutenant Anderson, including one scene where Tragg warns Anderson not to let Mason take advantage of him.

[@bender7565]

I had read long ago that Raymond insisted on it because you got your salary no matter if you were in the credits. He took care of his friends and many actors back then were not rich.

[@Primus54]

@@bender7565It had more to do with his health insurance, but you are correct that Raymond Burr was instrumental in protecting Ray Collins financially. I always loved Tragg because even though he tried to one-up Mason and cover Burger’s butt, you could tell he actually liked Mason that he’d show by often calling him “Perry”.

[@martinwalsh8352]

I also read that about Burr keeping Collins on the credits when he was away from the show. Nice when people have your back like that.

[@lynettemiller7912]

This is one of my favorite episodes! When Tragg thinks 'I got him, now!' and .... NUTHIN'! I howl every time! 🤣🤣🤣

[@alartandy]

I always wondered how LAPD would allow a 75 year-old police lieutenant to remain on the force. Tragg must have filed an age discrimination suit.

[@EristiCat]

I never thought about his age and didn't realize just how old he was when he was on the show. That was quite old back then. Lots of people were dead by 65.

[@ECO473]

@@EristiCat Ray Collins was about 67-68 when he started PM.

[@whaheydelee]

Everyone smoked three packs a day back then, he was probably only 40.

[@ECO473]

@@EristiCat Collins was born in December 1889 and died in July 1965, aged 75.

Holding a potential witness/ suspect incognito .That would never be allowed today.

[@rickmays797]

Hello!!!!! You what???? Love it when Perry gets Tragg Oh my lieutenant????? Lolololo

[@thebigdividendhunter4633]

What a turn of the tables funny moment.

[@billthestinker]

Hey young men it’s uncle Perry again want to earn some money 🥰

[@carlrennhack8824]

Lt. Arthur Tragg arrested at least one innocent person in each episode! Had that happened in real life, he would have been busted back to patrolman & assigned a beat so far out in the sticks he would have to get his paychecks via carrier pigeon!

If that had happened in real life the Democrats would have elected him the head of the DOJ

[@gedstrom]

Just like the old "Hawaii Five-0" series. If a real-world secret agent failed half as often as Wo Fat did, he would have long since been "Taken care of" by his own government! On a related note: Khigh Dhiegh always seemed to be type-cast as an evil Chinese agent of some type. I remember one episode of the old "Mission Impossible" where he was cast as an rich evil Chinese businessman seeking to destroy relations with the West.

Is that an Electra 225, that Perry pulled-up in?

[@hobonickel]

Good eye. It appears to be a 1962 Electra 225. I have a 1968 four-door that belonged to my grandfather. I hope to restore it one day.

[@patrickflohe7427]

@@hobonickel I love those old Buicks.

[@hobonickel]

@@patrickflohe7427 The 225 in the name comes from the length of the car. 225 inches from bumper to bumper. This is almost 19 feet. They were HUGE.

[@mikemcmullin149]

I can only assume that the car in question was the one that Mason flattened the tire on and had the young guys change the tire.

[@pdm2201]

How did Burger ever keep his job? Must be the worse prosecutor ever. Never saw him win a conviction.

[@johnbowen2956]

Well, he never convicted an innocent person. And we can be grateful for that. Presumably, Burger would have convicted the real murderer whom Perry always ferreted out toward the end of the show. Erle Stanley Gardener, the lawyer-writer who created Perry Mason, had his own "project innocence" long before the eponymous organization gained fame in the late 20th century. Gardener called his organization "The Court of Last Resort." Gardener, like Perry Mason, sought justice, not rigged convictions.

[@jd66604]

Technically He did have one conviction However at the end of the episode He did lose that one as well

[@patrickflohe7427]

What was this episode called?

[@EristiCat]

Mystified miner
