The story

Robert Strickland, a respected businessman, finds himself at the center of a sensational murder trial in New York. He stands accused of killing his friend Gerald Trask, a wealthy man to whom Strickland owed $20,000—a loan taken during a time of business trouble. According to the prosecuting attorney, the motive is clear: Strickland had just returned from Cleveland with the exact sum in cash and knew Trask would be placing the money in the wall safe of his home.
