Plot: Since being voted out of office as local prosecutor, Paul Biegler spends more time fishing than keeping up his law practice. But he does take on the defence of a lieutenant from the local army camp charged with murdering a bar-owner who raped his wife. The lieutenant is uncooperative, the wife a floozy, the judge from out of town, and the prosecution lead by a sharp city lawyer. It seems Biegler will need all his country wiles to make any sort of case of it. Laura Manion returns home to tell her husband she's been raped. Lt. Manion kills the rapist and then claims crime of passion as a defense. At least that's his story. Paul Biegler agrees to defend him and must unravel a case in which the motivations of the murder, his wife, and the victim are all in question.
