In what sounds like it should be a Hitchcock movie, an attorney defending a man who's murdered his wife finds some disturbing parallels between the killer's domestic situation and his own. Could the Wonderful Wizard of Oz get away with murder himself? He's working on it. If the sets in the prison scenes look familiar, it's because they were used before, in Whale's "Frankenstein".
