The lovely Mrs. Paradine (Ann Todd) is accused of poinsoning her older, blind husband. She hires lawyer Anthony Keane (Gregory Peck) to represent her. Though Keane is married to a striking and devoted woman, he finds himself strangely attracted to his glamorous defendant. His deepening feelings convince him she is innocent, even though the evidence and his usual sense of logic and reason might suggest otherwise.

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1947.
