Springfield, California: i coniugi Reston sono invischiati in un caso d’omicidio. Contattano cosi il famoso avvocato James Gordon Blane, principe del foro newyorkese che non ha mai perso una causa, cui affidano la loro difesa. Anche in questo caso, nonostante l’evidente colpevolezza, Blane riesce miracolosamente a far assolvere la coppia di imputati. Le autorità cittadine, però, decidono di vendicarsi e portano Blane in tribunale con l’accusa di aver corrotto un testimone. Una nuova sfida attende adesso il celebre avvocato: difendere se stesso.

The Tattered Dress (1957)
93 min
After a wild night, wealthy Michael Reston's adulterous wife Charleen comes home with her dress in rags; murder results. Top New York defense lawyer J.G. Blane, whose own marriage exists in name only, arrives in Desert View, Nevada to find the townsfolk and politically powerful Sheriff Hoak distinctly hostile to the Restons. In due course, Blane discovers he's been "taken for a ride," and that quiet desert communities can be deadly.
