Plot
District Attorney Steve Pettijohn relates the details of the murder of Jim Gardener, a banker, to a class of student attorneys. Gardener had refused to give his wife, Constance, a divorce. She and her boyfriend, Ted Farnsworth, tried once more to change his mind when he drew a gun on them. Farnsworth leaves; Constance stays for a short time; later, Gardner is found dead. Both Constance and Farnsworth confess to protect each other. Pettijohn’s niece, Sue, is worried about her missing boyfriend, Harry, who was last seen near the murder site. Harry is found and tells of his fight with an angry Gardner, but he insists he did not fire the fatal shot. Harry’s story is not believed; he is tried and convicted. With time running out, Margie Pettijohn and Sue Boardman suspect everyone and search for and find new clues thus saving Harry and unmasking the real killer.
