Virginia Baxter is the only witness still living who can vouch for the authenticity of Lauretta Trents will. Lauretta Trent, a wealthy widow is also living. But for how long? Someone has been peppering the spicy food Lauretta loves with arsenic. Could it be the same someone who tried framing Virginia Baxter for drug smuggling?Lauretta Trent doesnt trust her greedy heirs. But could a scheming servant be behind a master plan to fleece her estate? It all seems to fit. But when Lauretta is murdered on the highway, all the evidence places Virginia Baxter squarely in the drivers seat. Confused? Just think how Virginias lawyer, Perry Mason, must feel.
