Plädoyer für einen Mörder (1964)
Es kommt zu Spannungen zwischen amerikanischen und britischen Truppen, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in Indien stationiert sind, und es kommt zu Kämpfen zwischen den Truppen, als der amerikanische Oberleutnant Winston 1944 vor elf Zeugen mehrmals scheinbar ohne Provokation auf den unbewaffneten britischen Stabsfeldwebel Quinn schießt. Der amerikanische General Kempton beauftragt Oberstleutnant Barney Adams, Winston vor seinem Kriegsgericht zu verteidigen, denn obwohl jeder denkt, dass es sich um einen offenen Fall handelt, möchte der General, dass Adams eine energische Verteidigung leistet. Er soll klarstellen, dass es sich bei dem Urteil nicht lediglich um eine Beruhigung handelt, um die Spannungen zwischen den beiden Armeen vor einer Offensive gegen den wahren Feind abzubauen...
