Plunkett Henry O’Neill … Ingersoll Helen Flint … Ethel Saxon
An entertaining crime drama notable for an early appearance of Humphrey Bogart as a doomed gangster. In a sensational trail Ethel Saxon is sentenced to death for the murder of her lover, the conviction is partly credited to Jury foreman Edward Weldon and a direct question he put to the defendant. Weldon’s strict belief in the rule of law is challenged though as Saxon’s midnight execution draws near and the strange events of that dark night play out.
