Boomerang - L'arma che uccide (1947)
In una tranquilla città della provincia americana un sacerdote viene ucciso senza un apparente motivo e la polizia stenta a trovare il colpevole. Al termine delle indagini viene frettolosamente incolpato un reduce di guerra. L'amministrazione cittadina preme sulla pubblica accusa affinché lo faccia condannare per il crimine, accontentando così l'inquieta opinione pubblica. Ma il procuratore distrettuale, in tribunale, annuncia clamorosamente di ritenere l'imputato innocente.
