When loner Bill Jackson (James Anderson) prevents a robbery at the bar where he works, the ensuing media attention reveals that he is actually Richard Kinkaid, a fugitive wanted in connection with a decade-old murder case. Public defender Paul Bennett (Gig Young) believes that Kinkaid is innocent, but lacks fresh evidence to make his case. Now, with an innocent man's freedom in the balance, Bennett must find and interview the crime's original seven witnesses.
