Sep 24, 1963
Assistant State's Attorney Chris Dale (Boone) heads to a small town to get a statement from murder suspect Ellen Dudley (Leslie), who has been captured there and is accused of killing her husband. Dale's arrogant attitude is revealed by his treatment of his assistant (Rainey), the town sheriff (Stevens), and particularly his own wife (Nolan). While interrogating Ellen, Dale comes to see parallels between the way her husband treated her and the way he treats his wife.
