Germany. A woman is found murdered with another woman, Mary Baring, with whom she had been heard to be arguing, present, in a daze. It seems like an open-and-shut case and Baring is put on trial for murder. During deliberations, 11 of the 12 members think she's guilty. The skeptical one is Sir John Menier who thinks there are holes in the case. However, he is talked round and Baring is found guilty. After the case Menier still has his doubts and wishes he'd been more forceful in arguing against a guilty verdict. He starts to do his own investigating.

Trivia: This movie was made twice by Hitchcock at the same time, this version in German, and the English version called Murder. Many scenes were used in both versions.

At 1:12:33, and for the next 31 seconds, clubs can be seen being juggled in the background, but the juggler doing it is obscured behind other people.
