Mason meets Mrs. Milfield, a barely distraught widow, and a slew of suspicious characters all intimately connected to a recently deceased, man murdered on someone else's yacht. It takes a sharp mind like Mason's, the savvy of his secretary Della Street, and the legwork of investigator Paul Drake to pull all the clues out of the water before the case sinks like a deadweight.

Work Description
"Mr. Mason, I'm going to confide in you."
Daphne Milfield paused, and seemed to brace herself. The ringing of the telephone froze the words on her lips.
"Perhaps that's your husband now," Perry Mason suggested.
She picked up the receiver. "Why no, I don't know a Mr. Tragg... Lieutenant Tragg? No, I don't... He does?... He is?..."
"The nerve of that man!" she exclaimed, dropping the receiver back in place. "He's on his way up here."
"Lieutenant Tragg is from headquarters -- homicide," Mason said. "Who do you know that's been murdered?"
"Good heavens! No one, except perhaps my ..."
"Go on."
"No! No! No one."
"Were you about to say 'my husband'?"
