Rodney Banks has embezzled about $1000 from his employer, Marvin Fremont. Now Rodney needs to replace it before anyone notices - so he goes to the horse races and bets on a long shot horse. His horse wins, and now he has plenty of money ($14000) to pay it back. The problem is that the authorities may be waiting for him at the horse track cashier's window.
Rodney gives the winning tickets to his sister, Nancy Banks, to cash in. She is hesitant to walk out of the racetrack with that much cash, so she goes to see Perry Mason. Using the name of Audrey Bicknell, she hires Mason to go cash in the tickets. Mason goes and gets the cash, and is accosted by Fremont and a policeman, claiming that since the betting money was Fremont's property, the proceeds of its investment (the bet) are his also. Mason disagrees and gives the cash over to Nancy Banks.
Mason gets a frantic call from Nancy Banks, who is now staying in a motel so no one can find her and the cash. Her story is that she was help up and the money taken. Mason enters her motel room and finds Fremont shot to death in the bathroom. The police find evidence of dry ice having been placed around the body to cool it off quickly, to manipulate the apparent time of death.

Work Description
Supposed You had Embezzeld Some Money -
and bet it on the nose on a long shot, at fifty to one. And the horse came in first. With your winnings you could easily replace the money you had embezzled and still have a big profit. But when you went to cash in your winning tickets, your employer was there with a cop to arrest you for embezzlement - and to take over your winnings. According to him, the money had always been his and the fact that you had made a lucky bet and intended to replace the money you had "borrowed" wouldn't stop you from going to jail or him from collecting the profits. Would that be cause for murder?
