After quitting his job as a police detective, Jim Schuyler (Kirk Douglas) accepts an offer from lawyer Tennessee Fredericks (Eli Wallach) to protect Rena Westabrook (Sylva Koscina), who's about to go on trial for the murder of her wealthy husband. Rena is accused of conspiring with a lover, Jonathan Fleming (Kenneth Haigh), to kill Westabrook for his money. She has an alibi from Sean Magruder (Ralph Waite), who says he witnessed her in a bar at the time of the murder, but Schuyler ends up finding Magruder dead in a car. A gang responsible for the death of a British man named Finchley (Martyn Green) appears to be behind Westabrook's and Magruder's murders as well. Rena is the next target after being acquitted in court, but Schuyler heroically saves her life.
