This dramatization of a factual incident opens in a quiet Connecticut town where a kindly priest is murdered while waiting at a street corner. The citizens are horrified and demand action from the police. All of the witnesses identify John Waldron, a nervous out-of-towner, as the killer. Although Waldron vehemently denies the crime, no one will believe him. District Attorney Henry Harvey is then put on the case and faces political opposition in his attempt to prove Waldrons innocence.
After an elderly and much loved local priest, Father Lambert, is shot and killed on the street in broad daylight, the police come under great pressure to find the shooter and bring him to justice. They extradite John Waldren who was arrested in a nearby State and question him unrelentingly until hes completely exhausted and signs a confession. DA Henry Harvey is under political pressure to show that his party isnt soft on crime but as he looks at the case, he concludes that the accused is innocent. He lays out the evidence in such a way as to try and prove Waldrens innocence. Based on a true story.
