Why can't Philadelphia mob boss Carmine Baldasano get a mob lawyer
- or any lawyer - to represent him in a case where he is charged
with the vicious murder of a prostitute? John Bell becomes his
fourth court-appointed attorney. Each of the former attorneys
withdrew from the case, giving the judge lame excused for doing so.
Judge Stanford Parker summarily drafts Bell to represent Baldasano
and places Bell on an unrealistically short trial schedule. Judge
Parker's courtroom demeanor makes him look like a co-prosecutor
with Radcliff Bogan. the ruthless and determined assistant district
attorney. Bell puts off preparing the case for trial because he is
invited by a lawyer he knows only casually to take part in a drug
case where there are several defendants and he will be only one of
many experienced lawyers. He can't resist the promise of easy and
substantial money with a minimum of effort. Joining the other
defendants' lawyers led by well-known mob lawyer Augie DiGuilio in
several trips to the Atlantic City casinos, Bell meets Connie
Lascalzo, a red-haired, green-eyed bombshell and former showgirl.
At the crap tables she displays a delightful sense of humor, a
skilled hand at craps and, later, seductive dance talents. Bell
shortly finds himself in bed with her. Serious obstacles impede
Bell's preparation for trial. The trial date is advanced without
prior notice to Bell; his investigator is the victim of a
suspicious, disabling hit-and-run accident which makes him
unavailable; and the lives of Bell's young daughters are threatened
as the trial is about to begin. Bell is outraged and ashamed when
he discovers he has been an unwitting player in an insidious plot
to murder Baldasano in thecourtroom. Bell finds himself squarely
between competing mob families and quickly realizes Baldasano's
enemies are using the criminal justice system to disgrace him and
assure that he gets the death penalty. It takes
