There is a stalker on the loose and the police are under pressure to catch him.
Gloria (Gigi Perreau) is a young woman with a stern father who claims she has been attacked.
The police pick up vagrant called Long (John Anderson) who is identified by Gloria and eventually confesses.
Captain Matt Holbrook is not convinced of Long's guilt even though he has a criminal record. He is under pressure from the DA and pushy journalist Kate (Marsha Hunt.)
Holbrook recalls how he once arrested a man for a similar crime. He was innocent but his life was ruined.
A bit of a morality tale, I did wonder how easy it was for journalists to prowl around the police station. In real life I doubt cops would be so obliging in a seemingly open and shut case.
