John Gordon is part of a group of men standing trial for murder. Although John claims to have an alibi but the prosecution are dismissing it as flimsy.
During the summing up. Judge Cronin (Richard Hurndall) falls ill and the trial is suspended.
John's mother Anne wants to see Harry Rule. She is distraught. Her husband Arthur Gordon (Joss Ackland) has gone missing. He previously had a mental breakdown.
Arthur is paranoid that the judge is biased and visits Judge Cronin while he is recuperating.
Harry Rule is certain that Arthur is planning to something more dangerous to stop the judge.
I thought this was a very underwhelming story. It was mainly about paranoia and mental illness.
The viewer had no idea about any perceived biasness' on the part of the judge. Given the episode was called Trial, that was the least part of it.
