Framed

BENEATH THE FLAMBOYANCE . . . When an army buddy Pete Thorsen has barely seen in thirty years appears on his doorstep without notice, Pete's surprised, but chalks it up to his onetime friend's eccentric personality. Then he begins to notice things. Puzzled, Pete asks a detective he knows to check him out. The report: The man staying at his house is wanted for murder. Pete's stunned, but the man disappears before he can confront him. After the state police pick him up, the only way Pete can talk to him is if he's his lawyer. That sets up a collision with the sheriff whose only interest is to get the man out of his jurisdiction and begins Pete's journey into a world of corruption and violent grudges where he becomes a target himself.
