The story

Tony Stevens, as a junior barrister, bemoans the fact that he receives nothing but routine briefs concerning sewers, with small fees. So when a high-paying brief concerning a writ for "restitution of conjugal rights" is given to newly arrived Frances Pilbright (who just happens to be the niece of a senior barrister in the chambers Sir John Pilbright, and god-daughter of the instructing solicitor), Stevens is outraged, and, by devious means, obtains the brief for the opposite side in the case. Stevens' case, sitting alongside Sir John, relates to a house of ill-repute run by a Gale Tornado who employs various exotic dancers.
