In this courtroom drama, barrister Sir John Avalon's (James Craven) wife Fay (Margaret Vyner) is accused of murdering her husband. Will her husband's partner, the Cavalier (Patrick Barr), who is blackmailing her, confess to killing him in time to save her life?
TV Guide wrote, "More boring courtroom drama; English directors of the 1930s never seemed to tire of this stuff. Genn's brief appearance is the only enlivening factor here."[5]
