The story of the murder trial of Rupert Max Stuart at Ceduna in the 1950s. Those against him were convinced that he had raped a nine-year-old girl. Those who defended him were equally convinced that he had been forced to make the confession that condemned him.

The case gained worldwide notoriety and developed into an attack on the Government of South Australia.

Sir Roderic Chamberlain was counsel for the prosecution.
