Was it suicide or had he fled? His clients and the government want to find Bennett if he is still alive. Lane is moved by Mrs. Bennett's dignity and apparent belief in her husband's innocence. She finds herself drawn to Eric, the Bennetts' son, who is determined to prove that his father is not guilty.
