One evening, an upset man broke into the house of Matthias Blood, a rural Catholic priest. He wants to confess urgently. It turns out that murder burdens his soul, which he just committed. The murder is soon discovered in the town, and the priest's younger brother, Imre, is also suspected. The priest is faced with an unsolvable problem of conscience: either betraying the sanctity of confession and revealing the real killer, or idly looking at the condemnation of his innocent brother. Faith in God helps you through crisis days. The young man is sentenced to death, but his bride, who is convinced of her innocence, does not rest on her verdict. His female instincts and love are traced. He searches for the man he saw coming out of the rectory on the day of the murder, and he manages to persuade the prosecutor to interrogate him as well.so the innocent young man is saved. The soul of the priest can rest, for he did not cause the death of his beloved brother by preserving his vow of consecration, the sacrament of confession.
