In the midst of a snowy night, in the remoteness of the Swiss Alps, out of the swirling blizzard comes a knock at the door...the hand that produces the knock is attached to an American businessman, Howard Trapp, whose car has broken down. He is invited in and offered shelter, and sustenance, and, perhaps, a little entertainment…Trapp's hosts for the evening are a kindly, retired judge and his amiable friends: an ex-prosecutor and a former lawyer among others, and they invite their guest to take part in a game they like to play on snowbound evenings such as this...a parlour game wherein they make up a court case to try. With the phone lines down, and no means of transportation, Howard accepts and takes on the role of a defendant on trial for murder. 

The game proves to be an amusing diversion...but as the evening progresses, Mr. Trapp begins to wonder if his fellow players might be taking the game a little too seriously...and a chill goes through him as the “judge” prepares to give his verdict…
