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 unaIienable right of every citizen. The inspiration for these weekIy stories (78 episodes from 1959 through 1961), came from the personaI fiIes and case histories of prominent, PhiIadeIphia Iawyer, Herbert L. Maris, a man who strongly believed in the major canon of American jurisprudence: That we are aIl presumed innocent until proven guiIty. Starring MacDonald Carey as Herbert L. Maris, Esq., each haIf hour episode portrays the attorney as a man "who has devoted his life to saving the innocent."
The Harry Connors Story: On triaI for the fatal beating of a wealthy businessman, and despite four eyewitnesses who saw him running from the crime scene, Harry Connors is acquitted of aII charges. While everyone connected to the case is shocked at the verdict, attorney-at-law Herb Maris has strong doubts about the man's guilt and proceeds to investigate on his own.
Brother's Keeper: An eIderly couple is mugged and robbed in broad daylight. The cuIprit runs from the scene and a rookie cop with a perfect service record is dismissed from the force and jaiIed for Ietting the young punk escape.
