...grow up. A man convicted of killing his wife runs amok on his hanging day and kills the executioner. Before a new hangman can be brought in, another man confesses to the original murder. Acquitted of that crime, the husband is then accused of murdering the hangman. The legal dilemma that confronts the young judge: Does a man have the right to kill a representative of justice in self-defense, in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice...
