A widowed lawyer played by Herschel Bernardi is diagnosed with terminal cancer and is asked by a former lover from his youth to represent her son who kicked his wife to death. The son has confessed and wants to die. The lawyer tries to get him to say it wasn't premeditated so he can serve a short prison sentence. The plot takes a great leap of faith to suggest if the killer only says the murder wasn't planned that he will get off lightly. It is doubtful that defense was ever effective in real life.
The drama also suffers from poor casting. The lawyer is played by an actor who is five years younger than the actress playing his daughter, and his lover from his youth is played by an actress 27 years older than him and the age differences are noticeable. It seems like they figured that because Herschel Bernardi was bald no one would notice the inappropriate ages of the characters playing his daughter and former lover. If the lawyer was with this woman when he was 18 she would have been 45. That is theoretically possible but there is no way he could have a daughter five years younger than him.
Just a strange episode.
