TRIAL OF MARY DUGAN

Arthur Robison
USA 1931
96 min

Has Mary Dugan stabbed her rich sugar daddy, Edgar Rice, to death? The evidence is overwhelming, no reasonable doubt seems possible, the trial should be a formality. But suddenly a young man raises his voice, introducing himself as Jim, Mary's brother. With his sister's financial assistance he has studied law; but never before has he practiced his job inside of a court room. Nevertheless he turns out to be a tenacious defender of Mary's innocence. Against all odds and a lot of resistance the truth comes to light and the real perpetrator is driven to a dramatic confession.
