Summary
Paul Dupré dies at the hands of his nurse Gina Bianchi when she
administers his daily injection. His wife Catherine accuses the
nurse of murdering her husband but Gina insists that she is
innocent. Realising she too is a suspect, Catherine asks her lawyer,
Charles Cassidi, to
defend her as Judge Albert Gaudet starts his enquiry into the
case. When it transpires that Paul Dupré made a will
leaving his entire estate to Gina, Cassidi is confident he has a strong
case. However, Judge Gaudet remains sceptical..
