Richard Grayson and Margaret Field (the mother of actress Sally Field) play a young married couple beset with woe. They lose their baby, have extreme difficulty adopting another, and end up accused of stealing. They are saved from prison at the finale, but no such reprieve is given the couple's best friend, whose own travails drive her to suicide. Chain of Circumstance was based on an article in True Story magazine. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
