His wife and law partner, Constant Doyle, pays him a visit in jail but he's not keen on having her represent him. Cal was caught jumping the fence at the Otis Instrument Co, owned by Lawrence Otis who once used Doyle and Doyle as a law firm. It turns out that Cal's father once worked for Otis as an engineer but was an unreliable alcoholic. His cousin Steve Arthur still works there but is somehow making large deposits to his bank account. Cal is convinced that Otis has stolen some of his father's ideas on equipment miniaturization but when Steve Arthur is found dead, Cal is charged with murder. With Perry Mason in the hospital, Constant decides to represent him herself.
