Jordan, a famous criminal lawyer, will only represent clients, of whose innocence he is convinced (must be financially not-too-well-off). One day, his future son-in-law, the jeweler Fabian, is arrested on suspicion of murder on the day before his wedding. He is said to have murdered his ex-wife, the dancer Ria Norady. The conductor Gillmore found her dead in her dressing room shortly after a visit from Fabian. Gisela Jordan asks her father to defend him. After speaking to Fabian, the lawyer is convinced he's innocent. But since there is no proof of this, he decides to go and try and find the real murderer himself.
Justizrat Jordan, ein berühmter Strafverteidiger, vertritt nur Klienten, von deren Unschuld er überzeugt ist. Da wird sein zukünftiger Schwiegersohn, Juwelier Fabian, am Tag vor der Hochzeit unter Mordverdacht verhaftet. Er soll seine geschiedene Frau, die Tänzerin Ria Norady, getötet haben. Kapellmeister Gillmore hat sie kurz nach einem Besuch Fabians tot in ihrer Garderobe aufgefunden. Gisela Jordan bittet nun ihren Vater, die Verteidigung zu übernehmen. Nach einer Aussprache mit Fabian ist der Justizrat von dessen Unschuld überzeugt. Da aber keine Beweise zugunsten seines Mandanten vorliegen, versucht er auf eigene Faust den Mörder zu finden.
THERE IS A NEWSREEL ALONG WITH THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).
DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 95 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL. VERY GOOD FILM QUALITY OVERALL. NOTH THE BEST AUDIO AND THERE IS SOME SOFTNESS IN THE PICTURE.
