Arnold Shawn (Brian Keith), a brash young lawyer known for his unorthodox methods, is hired by wealthy Kenneth Jerome Sr. (Gordon Wynn) to defend his son Kenneth Jr. (Brian Hutton) on a hit-and-run charge. Among the courtroom spectators in Kenneth Jr.'s trial is Shawn's wife, Naomi (Leora Dana), who has long been aware of her husband's infidelities. Watching Shawn destroy the testimony of eyewitness Harry Babcock (William Hansen), Naomi suddenly comes up with a plan to destroy her husband as well. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
