District Attorney Hank Bell (Burt Lancaster) deals with ghetto gangs from Harlem, where he grew up, while trying to solve the murder of a blind Puerto Rican boy. The teenage gang members (John Davis Chandler, Neil Nephew, and Stanley Kristien) have been caught, and Bell is assigned the case as prosecutor. The case appears to be easy–until Bell realizes that there is more to it than meets the eye. In fact, one of the defendants is the son of Bell's ex-lover, Mary di Pace (Shelley Winters), and his wife, Karen (Dina Merrill), is turning against him because of his past. Now the question is: As more secrets come to the fore, will Bell be able to keep his principles intact?
