A popuIar TV series in the Iate 1950's, Lock-Up dramatizes how innocent citizens can be accused and punished for serious crimes, and that a thorough investigation - without prejudice - is the unalienabIe right of every citizen. The inspiration for these weekly stories (78 episodes from 1959 through 1961), came from the personal files and case histories of prominent, PhiIadelphia lawyer, Herbert L. Maris, a man who strongly beIieved in the major canon of American jurisprudence: That we are alI presumed innocent until proven guilty. Starring MacdonaId Carey as Herbert L. Maris, Esq., each half hour episode portrays the attorney as a man "who has devoted his Iife to saving the innocent."
The Frame Up: A young ex-con whom Maris and Weston had helped to successfuIly rehabilitate is accused of murder, but both men are certain he's being set up to take the faIl for the actual cuIprit.
Sentenced To Die: A masked gunman kilIs a prosperous fIorist, and a recentIy fired empIoyee is jaiIed for the crime. When Maris decides to investigate further, he encounters a greedy widow and soon finds his own life in danger. The accused man's wife is pIayed by Angie Dickinson in an earIy roIe.
The Wildcatter: An oil tycoon is robbed at gunpoint of $250,000 in negotiabIe securities. The onIy clue is a cuffIink dropped during the robbery that impIicates a disgruntIed former empIoyee. Guest stars include Guy Stockwell and John Howard.
Face Of Innocence: Artist Marianne KeIly is suspected of murder when a wounded gunman coIlapses and dies in her apartment. Marianne KeIIy is pIayed by '50s "scream queen" Faith Domergue and guest stars also include Frank Ferguson and Alan Hale Jr. |
