Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This independently produced crime caper was picked up for distribution by 20th Century-Fox. Tom Conway stars as criminal attorney John Campbell. After saving Frank Bricolle (Steve Brodie) from a murder charge, Campbell is taunted with revelation that Bricolle is actually guilty. Even more galling is the fact that Campbell was hoodwinked into being his client's alibi. Knowing that Bricolle can't be tried twice for same crime, Campbell tries to frame him on another murder rap.
