Plot

In this suspenseful film, a sinister figure is targeting the individuals who played a role in condemning a murderer to death. In the midst of this drama, after six members of the pivotal jury have met gruesome fates, investigative journalist Jim Bannon embarks on a relentless pursuit to locate the surviving jurors and ultimately unveil the enigmatic killer. What emerges is a shocking revelation: the original murderer, presumed dead in a conflagration at a mental institution, has somehow managed to escape his supposed demise. To add to the twisted plot, the body of the jury foreman was mistakenly identified as the murderer's, thereby allowing the vengeful culprit to execute a sinister plan for retribution. Janis Carter plays a crucial role as Bannon's romantic partner, offering her unwavering support throughout the harrowing ordeal.[4]
