Le personnage a également été incarné au cinéma dès 1934 par Warren William.Perry Mason est le héros de plus de quatre-vingts romans et nouvelles, dont la plupart racontent un complot visant à rendre coupable le client défendu en cour par Perry Mason. En mesure d'établir l'innocence de son client, l'avocat pousse le vrai coupable dans ses retranchements par un interrogatoire serré et le contraint ainsi à avouer son crime devant le tribunal.

Severely agitated by the howling of a police dog next door, millionaire Arthur Cartwright comes to Los Angeles lawyer Perry Mason to draw up his will, stating that the howling is a sign that a death has occurred. He wants to leave his money to the apparent wife of Clinton Foley, another millionaire and the dog's owner, explaining that while "Evelyn Foley" pretends to be Foley's wife, he is still legally married to someone else. Perry explains how Cartwright should word his odd bequest and after receiving a huge retainer fee, gives him a form to fill out and return. When Perry receives the form the next day, Cartwright has changed the beneficiary to Foley's actual wife. The fee paid by Cartwright obligates Perry to legally and morally represent the real Mrs. Foley to the best of his ability.
