Having trouble finding work thanks to his criminal record, Tony Polk (Steve Harris) finally lands a job going door to door and dispensing free gifts to viewers of a bizarre game show called "The Bad Buccaneer." This assignment requires him to wear a pirate costume, complete with a hook-shaped artificial hand. Unfortunately, while taking over a fellow worker's customer list, Polk is accused of murdering one of his customers, Grace Knapp (Kathleen Crowley), with that selfsame hook. In his efforts to defend Tony, Perry Mason discovers that the dead woman was a blackmailer--and that one of her victims was a performer on "The Bad Buccaneer"! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
