A young lawyer’s assistant, played by Katherine Schofeld, wants to make a good impression on her first important assignment. While riding on a train, she spots a man she assumes to be her boss’ client: he isn’t. But Color of Blood is not a sitcom but a murder melodrama. The man mistaken for the client is actually a murderer, and the girl’s anxiousness to please may result in her own demise.
