Aber der berühmte Anwalt kann dem Reiz des Falls nicht widerstehen: Leonard Vole wird beschuldigt, sich aus Habgier an die reiche Witwe Emily French herangemacht und sie ermordet zu haben. Und ausgerechnet Voles Frau Christine tritt als Zeugin der Anklage auf.
When Leonard Vole is arrested for the sensational murder of a rich, middle-aged widow, the famous Sir Wilfrid Robarts agrees to appear on his behalf. Sir Wilfrid, recovering from a near-fatal heart attack, is supposed to be on a diet of bland, civil suits – but the lure of the criminal courts is too much for him, especially when the case is so difficult.
