Martin Landau is a successful lawyer who only defends innocent people. How does he know? Because they say so. He gets a psycho played by Frank Gorshin (the Riddler) off after a young man has died. Instead of being elated, Gorshin admits he actually killed the guy. Now, Martin should be angry and feel used, but for him to think he can go after this guy when double jeopardy applies, plus attorney-client privilege, flies in the face of the most fundamental ethics an attorney can have. I can't get past that. He goes running around, trying to get people to deal with his issue. It's a fact of life that every once in a while a criminal manages to get away with his crime. Look at our current politicians. Anyway, his cluelessness makes him look incompetent. Bad writing!
