Documents the story of George C. Schreiber, a twenty-five-year-old second lieutenant in charge of an Air Police guard unit in Pusan, Korea. A year earlier, in 1951, he had innocently been teaching fifth and sixth grade children in Brookfield, Illinois. A year later, he was convicted by a general court martial of premeditated murder. Robert Shaines was intimately involved in defending Schreiber against the charges brought against him. The subsequent injustices would ultimately involve the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the President and the Supreme Court of the United States
