Steel and Lace

Gaily Morton, a classical concert pianist, is raped by businessman Daniel Emerson. Her brother Albert takes time off from his career as a robot scientist to represent his sister at the criminal trial. However Daniel has gotten several of his friends to provide an alibi for the night of the rape, and he is found not guilty. Gaily is horrified by the verdict and commits suicide by jumping off the court building, despite her brother's pleas. Albert uses his knowledge of robotics to resurrect his sister as a cyborg, which he then sends after Daniel and his business partners - the men who provided false witness in court.
