The Unknown Man background

The Unknown Man

A defense lawyer's probe into a youth accused of murder uncovers a tangled network of connections and incidents that complicate his initial beliefs about his client's guilt or innocence.

Prominent attorney Brad Mason defends Rudi Walchek, a young hit-man accused of murder, and convinces the court of his innocence. Later, he learns Walchek was indeed guilty, but kills the gang-leader, the respected head of the city's Crime Commission, and frames Walchek for the crime.
