Famed attorney Jonathan Wilk (based on Clarence Darrow and played by Orson Welles) takes their case, saving them from hanging by making an impassioned closing argument against capital punishment.

    Oh My Fool Life

    by: Compulsion

    And so I came to this world
    And then I blew it
    I bought a puzzle to play, I couldn't do it
    I told a joke to my friends, but they all knew it
    I tried to laugh my way out, but they saw through it
    I think I'll bury my head and just get through it
    On my fool life
    I saw a robbery once, I was a witness
    Somebody called the police, they said who did this
    And I described them so well, in about a minute
    The they looked at me then, you'd think I did it
    On my fool life
    I had a friend in distress, he was a good friend
    It wasn't happening between him and his girlfriend
    I tried to sort it all out and talk to her friend
    But then I got to her house I found that I'd no friends
    Oh my fool life
    I got a linguaphone course, so I could learn french
    I went to calais one day, so I could speak french
    I got confused at the dock in the confusion
    'welkom meneer rechts rijden in hoek van holland'
