Four German judges accused of war crimes against humanity will be brought before a military court and tried. Chief Justice Haywood (Tracy) listens to evidence and testimony not only from the lead defendant Ernst Janning (Lancaster) and defense attorney Hans Rolfe (Maximilian Schell), but also from the widow of an idealistic Nazi general (Marlene Dietrich).
