Plot

Charles Bronson plays Jack Murphy, a hardened, antisocial LAPD detective who frequently escapes the harsh reality that his ex-wife, played by Angel Tompkins, has become a stripper and his career is going nowhere by drinking. His world is turned upside down, however, when he is framed by ex-convict Joan Freeman (Carrie Snodgress) for putting her in prison earlier in his career. Freeman murders his ex-wife and begins killing off his associates while framing him for the crimes. The same police force he works for places him under arrest with Arabella McGee (Kathleen Wilhoite), a petty thief he locked away. Murphy escapes from jail while still handcuffed to McGee and they begin to pursue the real killer.

Murphy's Law includes music by Marc Donahue and Valentine McCallum. It was photographed by Alex Phillips Jr.
