Perry Mason becomes involved in the case of a Australian Bishop who is searching for a young woman who was abandoned as a child. Bishop Mallory has been putting vague ads in local newspapers to try and find the girl, the granddaughter of the rich Charles Burrows. The grandfather disinherited his son when he married and the son died before the missing daughter was born. The baby was then given up for adoption. He thinks he's found the right girl in Carol Delaney even though she doesn't believe him but it's clear that others have interest in the Burrows estate, especially Wallace Lang who has the Bishop beaten up to get him to leave town. Burrows himself thinks he's already found his granddaughter and is prepared to change his will in her favor regardless of the relationship. When Burrows is found stabbed to death in his study, Carol is charged with murder and Perry defends her plus the Bishop is missing.
