Synopsis

Contending that the Warren Commission did not establish conclusively that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin of President Kennedy, lawyer Mark Lane interviews numerous eyewitnesses. Lane concludes that Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, was well-known by the Dallas police, that the circumstances surrounding the death of officer J. D. Tippit have been insufficiently investigated, and that much evidence was mishandled. Lane's discussion of a possible conspiracy is illustrated by television newsreel footage of the assassination.
