Perversion for Profit (1964 – 1965)

The film presents a courtroom defense of a young man accused of reckless driving. The defense attorney argues that modern roads and cars are safer than ever, emphasizing that the defendant was in control of his vehicle while driving at 70 mph on an improved highway. The attorney highlights the absence of a specific speed limit outside city limits and contends that the defendant’s car was equipped with advanced safety features. Ultimately, the defense claims that the evidence proves the defendant’s driving was not reckless, leading to the jury’s dismissal of the charges.
