Description: Teaching Film Custodians classroom film of excerpts from the 1947 Twentieth Century-Fox feature film, "Boomerang", based on an article published in The Reader's Digest December, 1945 by Fulton Oursler (as Anthony Abbot). Emphasizes the ideal of justice under the laws of the United States. A prosecuting attorney in a murder trial becomes convinced of the innocence of the accused. Instead of seeking the man's conviction, the prosecutor disproves the evidence which appears to implicate the prisoner and obtains his acquittal. Based on a case in which Homer S. Cummings, 1870-1956, United States Attorney General in President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, was the prosecutor.
