BACHELOR FATHER - The Case of the Dented Fender, aka Bentley's Big Case

Air Date/Released Sunday, December 21, 1958
Station/Studio CBS / Revue Studios
Featuring Joe DeRita (Solo)

Bentley Gregg (John Forsythe) is a successful Beverly Hills attorney, who becomes the guardian of niece Kelly after her parents are killed in a car accident. Plots often revolved around Gregg raising the exuberant teenager, who took an active interest in trying to find her uncle a wife. Stories also featured Bentley's clients, and his Chinese houseboy Peter.

Peter is involved in a minor traffic accident with Florence Fletcher, who happens to be one of Bentley's wealthy clients. Peter's personal honor and devout belief in the principles of justice turns a minor incident into an all-out trial with Bentley on the opposite side of the courtroom aisle. Joe DeRita plays Mr. Fletcher, Florence's browbeaten but loving husband.
