Es wird ein Verbrechen begangen, die Polizei ermittelt und verhaftet einen Unschuldigen. Dieser wird durch den Staatsanwalt Hamilton Burger angeklagt.

In einem dramatischen Finale im Gerichtssaal wird der tatsächliche Täter entlarvt und der gerechten Strafe zugeführt. Nur wenige Folgen weichen von diesem Schema ab. So gewinnt Hamilton Burger einmal einen Fall, verliert dann im Wiederaufnahmeverfahren aber prompt wieder.
