Murder is not proven without a body is the defense that gets a criminal off the hook by a lawyer. Unfortunately, this leads to implicating others. One of them seeks revenge against that defense lawyer who happens to be in the midst of being elevated to the bench. The culprit is cornered but gets killed in trying to escape. The lawyer (to be judge) probes the motive for these threats by the deceased and uncovers horrifying details about the initial murder and the criminal client he helped to save.
