Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Society matron Mrs. Crane (Edna May Oliver) is selected as a juror in the trial of ex-chorus girl Yvette Gordon (Jill Esmond), who's accused of murdering her rich elderly husband. In court, Mrs. Crane is your unorthodox, disruptive juror. During the first ballot, Mrs. Crane brings in the only "not-guilty" vote, in spite of Evelyn Snow's (Helene Millard) damning testimony. Mrs. Crane and the other jurors are sent back to the jury room. Mrs. Crane persuades the other juror to take a closer look at the case and re-enact the night of Mr. Gordon's (Leyland Hodgson) demise.

Spencer B. Dazy:
[as Dazy is distributing meals to the jurors]
And what was yours? Mrs. Dace: Oh, mine was a white-meated turkey in a spinached toast with just a smatterin' of butter, lettuce with not the slightest bit of dressing, and slenderest of shoestring potatoes, and the weakest of green tea. Spencer B. Dazy: Heh-heh, you'll have to come back Friday for a fitting. See more » |
