"Mr. District Attorney" is on the air, and tonight's case will chill you to the bone—a seemingly philanthropic charity director whose generous donations mask something far more sinister. As the D.A. and his assistant Harrington begin to unravel the threads of what appeared to be benevolent giving, they discover that charity never began for this smooth-talking operator. Every dollar donated, every ribbon cut at a charity gala, was merely camouflage for a scheme that preys on the city's most vulnerable. With each clue methodically presented and each witness interrogation growing more tense, you'll find yourself leaning closer to the speaker, desperate to know whether justice will triumph before another victim falls prey to this wolf in philanthropist's clothing.
