An Army captain jumps from a plane and his chute comes out broken because the lines have been cut. He dies and the man who packed it, (Michael Strong, (normally a bad guy), is blamed because he ahd a grudge against the Captain and had made threats. Motive and opportunity.
Preston's situation is complicated as the prisoner asked for him after reading about him in a magazine and he is displacing a veteran Army counsel, (Chester Morris), who agrees to help but is resentful and questions Preston's tactics.
the biggest problem is that they really need an alternative suspect and there doesn't seem to be one, until they realize who else could have cut the cords.
The solution seems obvious before it's finally, slowly revealed. This series is more about drama than surprises. As always, it's fun to see noted actors early in their careers and it took a while to realize that one of the witnesses is a young Jerry Stiller.
