The British legal system is invested with enough romantic drama to rival a soap opera in this intriguing thriller. Gentle redhead John plays the king's counsel who takes on the defense of her old flame (Middleton) when he is accused of murdering his latest mistress. In a court battle
against Sinclair, a barrister who wants to marry her, John exonerates Middleton of the murder charge by disclosing her earlier connections with him. Then, when it is discovered that Middleton did commit the murder, John's reputation is ruined. But all ends well, with John finally able to marry
Sinclair when he is no longer a professional threat.
