Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) was a criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles. The criminal defense attorney was Hamilton Burger (William Talman) and the police detective was Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins).
Perry was assisted by Paul Drake (William Hopper) and his secretary Della Street (Barbara Hale).
The diagram on Della's head in the first panel is from the Anacin commercials' representation of a headache.
