Academy Award winners Susan Hayward and Peter Finch star in this drama of a woman trapped by a crime she commits for love.When Dr. Christine Allison (Hayward–I Want to Live!) finally relents and helps her terminally ill husband die peacefully, she commits a crime that strips her of her license to practice medicine and sends her to prison for years. Once released and unable to find work, she receives only one offer–from the attorney (Finch–Network) who prosecuted her case to care for his mentally ill wife. When her patient is found murdered, she finds herself again on trial … but this time for a crime she did not commit and framed by the man who has already sent her to jail once.
