Keywords: Drama, Murder Witness, Film Noir

A newspaper reporter's testimony is key to sending a man to the electric chair, the trial based entirely on circumstantial evidence. Then a nearly identical murder occurs and the reporter is now the prime suspect. Well-produced and acted B-movie which rises above its station; considered (perhaps erroneously) by some critics as the earliest film noir.
