    Rosamund John is quite good here as the newly "silked" barrister "Anne Maitland". She is at home one evening when her ex-boyfriend "Ransome" (Guy Middleton) shows up claiming homelessness after a row with his girlfriend. She agrees to put him for the night but that's just the start of her problems. When he returns home next morning, he discovers that his gal is no more and that he is prime suspect in a murder investigation being led by the tenacious "Insp. Gaynor" (John Warwick). It now falls on her to defend him - but that's not without risk to her reputation or to her current relationship wit...
