In una cittadina del "profondo" Sud degli Stati Uniti l'onesto avvocato Atticus Finch e incaricato della difesa d'ufficio di un "negro" accusato di violenza carnale; riuscira a dimostrarne l'innocenza, ma l'uomo sara ugualmente condannato a morte. La vicenda, che e solo l'episodio centrale del romanzo, e raccontata dalla piccola Scout, la figlia di Atticus, un Huckleberry in gonnella, che scandalizza le signore con un linguaggio non proprio ortodosso, testimone e protagonista di fatti che nella loro atrocita e violenza non riescono mai a essere piu grandi di lei.
