Plot synopsis
The action of this film takes place in America. State Attorney General Ted Talbot sentences Jim Konly, suspected of being a bank robber and the murderer of a security guard, to the death penalty despite his 24-hour protests of innocence in court. After the execution of the sentence, we discover in a hotel a drug addict who committed suicide, leaving a letter in which he accuses himself of the faults of the one who was executed. Forced to drop the charges, the prosecutor must face a delicate situation and unprecedented problems linked to the revelations of the popular press which accuses him of a love affair with Jane, the widow of Jim Konly, discovered her throat slit in the bed of the prosecutor.
