A man who was about to blow the whistle on a widespread credit-card scam is murdered. It does not take long for the police to round up the killer, a Romanian immigrant named Leon Iliescu (Morgan Weisser). The D.A.'s office is confident of a conviction -- until the accused man's lawyer, Jonathan Shapiro (Alan King), declares that his client is "not guilty due to cultural insanity," a helpless victim of the ongoing violence in Romania.
