A father and son team of attorneys, played by Ralph Bellamy and William Shatner, disagree over the defense of Joseph Gordon, played by Steve McQueen. Snippets of this 50 year old television drama were used in the 2007 television program "Boston Legal" (3x18: Son of the Defender) where the now older Shatner -Denny Crane- is strapped with explosives by the son of the murdered woman and forced to reenact the trial.
