The Wrong Man

Manny Balestrero, a bass fiddle player at a New York hot spot, heads home to his wife and two children late one evening. When he arrives, Rose tells Manny she needs an expensive medical procedure--one which the family cannot afford. So they agree to borrow money on her life insurance policy. But at the insurance office, three employees mistake Manny for a man who robbed them just days earlier. That night, he's arrested and charged with a series of hold-ups. Thus begins an honest man's desperate struggle to prove his innocence. (official distributor synopsis)
