Plots(1)
Will Rogers stars as down-to-earth, Solomon-like Judge Priest, who presides over his post Civil War Kentucky courtroom with compassion and humor. His pride is wounded when a political rival forces him to remove himself from the bench in a controversial assault case. Nevertheless, "private citizen" Priest will take desperate measures to see that justice is served. (official distributor synopsis)
