Herbert Marshall as Sir John Menier

Diana is sent to prison where to await her execution

Part one
Lots of commotion in a small urban neighborhood as the police come to check out "disturbance". It seems an actress has been murdered - and a another actress in the troupe (Diana Baring- played by Norah Baring) has shown an open hatred to the victim. Plus she has amnesia- get some brandy!

Part two
The police try to get some the facts in the case straight and get to hear all the dirt on the victim and other actors in the show. We also meet Diane's boy friend, an actor who wears dresses. The trial of Rex vs. Diana Baring begins. Lots of stuffy brits in powdered wigs help make the trial memorable.

Part three
Okay - The jury foreman adds up the votes on the jury's first straw poll. Most think she's guilty, but there's a few hold-outs. We also meet Sir John Menier, a famous actor, and juror -who thinks she's innocent. After a bit of prodding, Sir John gives in and the jury reaches a decision - GUILTY. And she is sentanced to death.
