When Leonard Vole is arrested for the sensational murder of a rich, middle-aged widow, the famous Sir Wilfrid Robarts agrees to appear on his behalf. Sir Wilfrid, recovering from a near-fatal heart attack, is supposed to be on a diet of bland, civil suits—but the lure of the criminal courts is too much for him, especially when the case is so difficult.

Despite not possessing his dashingly good looks from 40's anymore, Tyrone Power's charm still remained untouched, and he was very believable in portraying his seemingly good-natured and desperate character, eventough he had occasional slips of overacting.
