Martha (Helen MacKellar) was once tried for murder but had her name cleared after the court ruled her actions to be self-defense. Years later, she has started life anew, and her daughter is about to marry into a rich family. Then the past suddenly rears its ugly head. Scheming radio executives, looking for a pulpy story, decide to re-examine the case and broadcast their findings. As the radio show unravels Martha's life, scrupulous station programmer Sherry (Humphrey Bogart) fights for her sake.

Audience Member Also titled "One Fatal Hour", this short film - which is technically what this is, being as it runs for less then an hour - is okay. Not much of a story, which is evident in the runtime, but the cast is good. Bogart is good. It’s really a pointless movie, probably the lesser part of a double feature package that vintage Hollywood used to love to do in the 30s and 40s. I watched it, and, for a short film - it’s not bad at all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Steve D There are better versions but it is solid.
