From the archive
A hidden revolver leads to a suspected murder that in turn sets off an extended courtroom battle between an ambitious county coroner and a famous defense lawyer. A no-frills, fast-paced drama with several notable performances. An adaptation of the play by Michael Barringer. Directed by Roy Boulting. Released in 1939 (UK). Complete print. TRIVIA: Never theatrically released in the US. Therefore its first telecast on 7/17/49 by WCBS-TV (channel 2 in NYC) was its US premiere.
