Synopsis

[edit]

A hotshot newspaper reporter is summoned for jury service. Young Harald Meinhardt is charged with killing Frau Overbeck, the wife of a very successful scientist, with whom he was having an affair. The journalist Peter Hansen is the only member of the jury to vote against Meinhardt's conviction. He launches a newspaper campaign to demonstrate his innocence, and sets out to identify the real killer.
