Double Jeopardy (9 Nov 1965) (Hobart)

 From Hobart. 

Written by Creswick Jenkinson. Directed by John Baldwin. 

I know very little about it. At least it had an Aussie writer. Filmed for Australian Playhouse.

Plot

Milton Blaze is a noted QC who has just won an acquittal for his client, Jenny Connor, arraigned on a charge of murder. HIs satisfaction with the justness of the verdict is somewhat marred by Jenny's husband who calls to see him with some startling revelations. His composure is even more disturbed when his own wife inadvertently reveals that she too is involved in the case.
