“One woman was to die at midnight!...another woman was to kill at the same hour...why?”
Jury foreman Edward Weldon's questioning leads to the death sentence for Ethel Saxon. His daughter Stella claims to have killed her lover, the gangster Garboni, just as Saxon was to sit in the electric chair.
A grim, morally complex pre-code drama that plunges into the heart of desperation and the weight of consequence. Its stark atmosphere and intense performances create a palpable sense of dread and inevitable tragedy.
