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.
