The People Against O'Hara (1951)
Former criminal lawyer James Curtayne, who had retired from court practice, makes a comeback to defend John O'Hara. However, due to his alcoholism and loss of skills, Curtayne loses the case, and O'Hara is found guilty. Recognizing that O'Hara might be innocent, Curtayne devises a plan to catch the actual murderer. During his attempt, Curtayne is killed, but before dying, he provides the police with the information that clears O'Hara of the crime.
