Ep 2. The Stripper

Ben Matlock is a renowned defense attorney with an unorthodox approach to solving cases. In the second episode of Matlock's first season, entitled "The Stripper," Matlock finds himself defending a young woman named Vickie whose sister has been killed. The victim, a stripper named Lisa, was found dead in her apartment, and Vickie immediately becomes the prime suspect in the murder case.

Despite the fact that Vickie has no apparent motive for the crime, the police are determined to charge her with the murder. Faced with the overwhelming evidence against his client, Matlock starts digging deeper into the case, determined to uncover the real killer and clear Vickie's name.

As Matlock investigates the case, he discovers that Lisa was involved with some shady characters from the local strip club. The club's owner, a man named Johnny, is a prime suspect in the murder case, as he was seen arguing with Lisa on the night of her death. Matlock decides to visit the strip club to learn more about Lisa's connections, but he quickly finds himself at odds with the club's burly bouncers.

In a tense showdown, Matlock uses his quick wit and legal expertise to outsmart the bouncers and gain access to the club. Once inside, he meets with Johnny and tries to persuade him to reveal what he knows about Lisa's murder. However, Johnny is not willing to cooperate, and Matlock leaves the club empty-handed.

Despite this setback, Matlock continues to investigate the case and eventually uncovers a key piece of evidence that leads him to the real killer. With this evidence in hand, Matlock returns to the courtroom for a dramatic trial. Facing the skilled prosecution team, Matlock must use all of his legal skills to convince the jury that Vickie is innocent and that the real killer is someone else entirely.

As the trial unfolds, Matlock uncovers a web of deceit and intrigue that leads all the way to the top of the strip club's hierarchy. With the odds stacked against him, Matlock must use his legal expertise, his keen intuition, and his quick wit to unravel the mystery and reveal the true killer.

In the end, Matlock emerges victorious, clearing Vickie's name and exposing the real killer. With another successful case under his belt, Matlock proves once again that he is one of the best defense attorneys in the business.
