Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

In "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt", high-profile District Attorney Mark Hunter (Douglas) has an impeccable record of putting criminals behind bars and is a shoo-in for governor in the upcoming election. But when ambitious rookie journalist, C.J. Nicholas (Metcalfe) begins investigating Hunter for tampering with evidence to secure his convictions, the district attorney's perfect record is up for scrutiny. Commencing a risky game of cat and mouse with Hunter, C.J. frames himself as a murder suspect to catch the corrupt D.A. in the act. Romantically involved with C.J. but unaware of his assignment, Assistant D.A. Ella Crystal (Tamblyn) becomes caught between her boss's political ambitions and C.J.'s dangerous exposé. As mounting evidence stacks up against both men, Ella's own life becomes threatened when she discovers incriminating proof that put the faith of both Nicholas' innocence and Hunter's reputation in her hands. Based upon the RKO film "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" and screenplay by Douglas Morow. (Gary Reber)
