Rumpole of the Bailey

The barrister investigates corruption

A mentally challenged man confesses to the murder of a respected policeman in a street riot. However, evidence surfaces that part of the confession has been altered. Judge Guthrie Featherstone presides at the subsequent trial of a detective superintendent and has to contend with Rumpole for the defence, but during this stressful time makes the unwise decision to escort legal clerk Dot Clapton to a club. Legal drama, starring Leo McKern and Peter Bowles
