Gifts in solicitors' offices can have startling repercussions. When Peter gives a present and Margaret receives one, Main finds himself in one of the trickiest situations of his career.
A Brazilian couple, friends of a girlfriend of Main's have an adoption problem. The case is filled with a variety of unexpected situations, which lead to a drama conclusion.
David Main receives devastating news. In the aftermath, he and Walter Clegg's efforts see them straying onto the wrong side of the law in their attempts to see that justice is done. The future is a major worry for both of them.
David is asked by Detective Sergeant Allington to look into the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. Margaret offers David a partnership once again.
David has been struck off the Roll of Solicitors but has immediately lodged an appeal, meaning the striking off has been suspended until the appeal has been heard. David is still convinced he has a good case but Henry knows he has little chance.
