Plot summary
Geraldine Ferrett ( Catherine O'Hara ), a shameless and unscrupulous ambulance-chasing lawyer, is arrested for having an illegal license plate in the remote town of Stueksville. She discovers that the town's court system is nightmarishly backwards, presided over by three identical judges ( Joseph Maher in a triple role) who sentence people to torture and even capital punishment for petty crimes. Her public defender, Austin Haggard ( Peter MacNicol ), tries to get each of the judges to assign Geraldine to public service, but he may have ulterior motives.
