District Attorney Jim Stowell (Warren William) has earned his reputation as a ruthless man who believes that execution should be the only sentence for first-degree murderers. While prosecuting Professor Shaw McAllen (Ralph Morgan) who is accused of murdering his wife, Stowell realizes that events in his own married life with his wife Lucy (Gail Patrick) closely parallel those of McAllen and his murdered wife. Compassion takes over as Stowell reflects on the circumstances and reasons that the death penalty may not always be the correct sentence.
