On trial for murder, Brazilian native Manoel (Sabu) relates to a defense attorney (Maurice Denham) how he came to be accused of the crime.

MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin A monotonous series of flashbacks break the even development of the plot and it is difficult at times to keep track of the characters around whom the story is built. The result is that interest is lost and the film becomes boring. Feb 5, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
