And the key figure is a Bishop from Australia who asks for Perry Mason's help. But as he tells his story to Perry Mason it is obvious that he is a stutterer. Immediately doubt is raised in Mason's mind whether this Bishop is for real. Della, Bishops don't stutter. That's what I thought when he barged in here.
Bishops have to talk in public.
If a man stutters, he won't even become a Minister let alone a Bishop. At the end of the film the Bishop explains. It's a defect which I overcame in my childhood, Mr. Mason. It never comes back on me except when I'm under some emotional shock. I was surprisingly entertained by the film and how in 1937 it handled a major character who stuttered.
