Plot
Middle aged Mrs. Livingston Baldwin Crane (Edna May Oliver) is selected to serve on a jury. The case is the murder trial of ex-showgirl Yvette Gordon (Jill Esmond), accused of killing her rich elderly husband. Throughout the trial Mrs. Crane is outspoken but is able to ask the witnesses candid and important questions. At the end of the trial, Mrs. Crane casts the sole “not guilty” vote, causing a discussion. After lots of convincing and several votes, the count is ten not guilty to two guilty. During the deliberations, the wealthy Mrs. Crane secretly hires a detective agency to further investigate the case. They prove that Chauncy, Mr. Crane's nephew, paid the maid, Mrs. Snow, to lie under oath so Chauncy could inherit his uncle's entire estate.
