Stung is a 1931 two reel sound short film, directed by William Cowen.[1]

During a murder trial, a defense attorney "fixes" a witless juror to hold out for a manslaughter verdict.[2] A critic for the Motion Picture Herald wrote: "A surprise in the last spoken words of this short feature is the entire 'punch'."[3]
