When actress Mary Baring is found in a daze beside her colleague’s murdered body, all evidence points to her guilt. During the trial, juror Sir John Menier doubts the verdict, but yields to pressure. Haunted by remorse, he launches his own investigation. (Filmed in German on the same sets as Murder! (1930), this version was directed by Alfred Hitchcock with a new cast for international release.)
