Attorney for the Damned: A young lawyer wants to help the poor; her boss assigns her two destitute mental patients who frighten and disturb her. When she asks the judge to let her drop their cases, she is denied. Despite her struggle with her conscience, she gets them both released, only to have one of them kidnap the other characters, herself included, to judge them as God's avenging angel. Her other client emerges as a hero, sacrificing himself for others and answering the central question of the piece: 'What makes a hero?'
