Plot

The story takes place in the year 1944 in Lincoln Bluff, a fictional, small Colorado town. The Second World War is still raging when the town's only doctor George Hansen (Barnard Hughes), is murdered at a local US Army camp, Camp Bremen, holding German prisoners of war.

Harmon J. Cobb (Walter Matthau), the story's protagonist, is a local lawyer given the task of defending the German prisoner accused of killing the doctor, a man who also happened to have been Cobb's good friend.
