Kavanagh Q.C.

The son and daughter of a prosperous farmer are charged with the murder of their father and stepmother. A planted shotgun seems to provide the only evidence linking them to the gruesome killings. Kavanagh represents the daughter and loses the case, but in the appeal Kavanagh convinces the court that judicial errors were made in the original trial and his client is released. His client, a weak and manipulated woman, knows the real truth, however, but is too afraid to confess.
