Synopsis

In the radio adaptation of Young Mr. Lincoln, we are introduced to a young Abraham Lincoln, played by Henry Fonda, who is navigating the early days of his legal career in Springfield, Illinois. The story unfolds on a summer evening after a local fair, where the festive atmosphere quickly turns dark when a man is found dead, and two brothers, the Clay boys, are accused of the murder. The tension escalates as the community, fueled by anger and fear, begins to rally for vigilante justice, threatening to take the law into their own hands.
