Return to sender

Police are clueless until a tip-off points the finger of suspicion at an Aussie TV star, Roberto de Heredia. But before the case can get to court de Heredia stages his own death and does a runner. He flees overseas and it's 17 years before he is caught and dragged back before a judge. Then another twist: at his trial the defendant with the killer good looks convinces the jury he's no would-be murderer. Having been acquitted of the crime, Roberto de Heredia now wants Australia to know why he's innocent.
