Hoping to expose fatal flaws in the legal system, a writer DANA ANDREWS, (Laura) places a bet that he can have himself convicted of murder on purely circumstantial evidence by planting false clues at a crime scene, before sensationally revealing his trick at the last minute. However, a series of disastrous coincidences leaves him facing execution - and a frantic search for the true killer begins.

Fritz Lang s ingenious thriller (his last Hollywood film and the companion-piece to WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS) also stars Academy Award winner JOAN FONTAINE (Rebecca) and ARTHUR FRANZ (The Caine Mutiny).

Extra features: Original trailer, stills gallery and collector's art card. Includes subtitles for the hard of hearing.
