Anatomie eines Mordes (1959)
Leutnant Manion hat die Vergewaltigung seiner Frau Laura gerächt. Mit der Ermordung des Gewalttäters. Auf diese Tat steht nur ein Urteil, die Todesstrafe. Rechtsanwalt Dr. Biegler versucht, den Kopf des Leutnants aus der Schlinge zu ziehen. Jedoch sprechen alle Beweise gegen seinen Mandanten. Auch die bildhübsche Laura gerät bald ins Zwielicht, denn ihr Vergewaltiger galt als ehrenwerter Mann. Entspricht ihre Aussage wirklich den Tatsachen? Dr. Biegler sieht nur einen Ausweg: Er muss die Unzurechnungsfähigkeit seines Mandanten beweisen. Der Anwalt kämpft verzweifelt gegen die Welle der erdrückenden Indizien. Im letzten Moment findet sich noch ein neuer Kronzeuge, der den Vergewaltiger schwer belastet. Aber wird dies reichen? Dr. Biegler beginnt sein Schlussplädoyer mit dem Mut der Verzweiflung.
