A woman lawyer takes the defense of a man accused of murdering his wife. She finds out he is guilty and also a sociopath who may place her life in danger.
An implausible plot which is woven into entertaining drama. The films of Larry Cohen (meaning those which were written by him) explore, almost invariably, some kind of inversion in the function of a part in the social mechanism. A baby who is actually a murderous monster, an ambulance which kills instead of saving, a messiah who preaches hatred, a cop who is a homicidal maniac, and so on. In Guilty as Sin the most visible malfunctions are a man who emulates the parasitic behavior of women, and a defense lawyer who plots her client's conviction.
