Дело о чёрном коте (1936)
Адвокат Перри Мейсон глубокой ночью вызван в особняк Лакстеров, чтобы исключить внучку Вилму из наследства Уильяма Лакстера, чтобы она не вышла замуж за подозреваемого в охоте за наследством Дуга. Питер умирает при загадочных обстоятельствах, и два внука Лакстера, Сэм Лакстер и Фрэнк Оффли, наследуют его имение при условии, что старый сторож Шустер и его кошка Клинкер продолжают там проживать. Когда ненавидящий котов Сэм угрожает Клинкер, Перри входит и узнает, что смерть Лакстера была подозрительной, а семейное состояние и бриллианты пропали без вести. Шустер найден мёртвым в своей подвальной квартире, медсестра Лакстера Луиза убита костылем Шустера, и косвенные доказательства приводят Дуга к суду за смерть Луизы. Расследование Мейсона приводит к неожиданному свидетельству, который превращает суд в переворот.
