What happens
Murder in Reverse (also styled Murder in Reverse?) is a 1945 British thriller film directed by Montgomery Tully and starring William Hartnell, Jimmy Hanley and Chili Bouchier. It was written by Tully based on the 1931 story Query by "Seamark" (Austin J. Small). The plot centres on a London dockworker, who after serving years in prison for a murder that never occurred, is eventually released and sets out to prove his innocence by finding the man he was convicted of killing. When legal technicalities prevent the case from being reopened, he takes revenge himself, committing the very crime for which he had already been punished. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
