Criminal Law
After successfully defending a man accused of murder, the same type of murder occurs again. The previously defended client immediately employs the attorney again, and despite the attorney's certainty that he is the murderer, he agrees to defend him once more... much to the horror of his friends. However, he explains that by acting as his attorney, he will be better able to catch the man in error... and so the rest of the film unfolds, with the killer playing a cat and mouse game with the attorney until, at long last, they both must recognize that they are not all that different.
