The Case Of The Shooting Star (1986)

Jealous of the time a talk show host (Alan Thicke) is spending with his girlfriend (Mary Kane), an actor/director (Joe Penny) decides to prank him by shooting him on live television with a gun loaded with blanks. However, the gun is loaded with ammo and the TV host is killed. Enter famous lawyer Perry Mason (Raymond Burr) to defend him. Directed by Ron Satlof (PERRY MASON RETURNS).
