Hoping to expose fatal flaws in the legal system, a writer (Dana Andrews, Laura) places a bet that he can have himself convicted of murder on purely circumstantial evidence by planting false clues at a crime scene, before sensationally revealing his trick at the last minute.  However, as series of disastrous coincidences leaves him facing execution – and a frantic search for the true killer begins.
