Plot Overview

Cooper, a prominent attorney, collapses and dies in a phone booth during a frantic call to Burke. The Captain and his men pore over the dead man's cases and come up with five suspects: a once-prominent movie star who lost a paternity suit; the young actress who was the other party in the paternity case, whose career was ruined by the scandal; a news vendor whose father was sent to prison via Cooper's shoddy defense; a rich widow whose husbands met with suspicious demises; and a chemist convicted of industrial sabotage.
