Lawyer Thelma 'T.K.' Knudsen Katwuller represents Steven Seldes - who is accused of involvement in making underage porn movies, though he claims innocence - and he is also her lover. When T.K. meets Steven's wife Ellie things turn awkward, as the two women had been college roommates. When T.K. subsequently confronts Steven at his office, a fight ensues in which she injures him with a letter opener. When T.K. returns later on, she finds Steven dead with multiple stab wounds. Upon finding Ellie's sweater at the crime scene, the police arrest her for the murder and T.K. agrees to defend her.
Defenseless was released on VHS by Live Home Video and around the same time in Canada by Cineplex Odeon. A TV edit of the film was released on DVD in 2002 by Platinum Disc. A widescreen unedited DVD was released in Japan by Universal Studios Home Entertainment, under license from StudioCanal, in 2007.
