Circumstantial Evidence

When a clever hoax backfires, an innocent man finds himself on death row. Ambitious reporter Jim "Lucky" Baldwin is out to prove that circumstantial evidence is a dangerous tool for sentencing men to the gallows. With the help of friend and colleague Fred Stevens, they set in motion a phony murder. Stevens is to be assumed dead at Baldwin's hand. But Jim's luck runs out when his friend is really murdered. Convicted of the crime, Baldwin's life rests with his fellow reporters, who must find and convict the real killer using the very circumstantial evidence their friend had hoped to discredit.
