Trial.

Angel Chavez (Rafael Campos) is a Mexican American teenager who lives in the small California town of San Juno. He meets a non-Hispanic girl he knows from high school, but she has a weak heart due to rheumatic fever and dies suddenly. On the grounds that her heart attack was caused by Angel's attempt to seduce her, he is charged with felony murder. A racist mob attempts to break Angel out of jail and lynch him, but the warden persuades them to stop by promising that the youth will be executed after a fair trial.
