- Plot: Crackerjack lawyer George Simon is a workaholic, and a successful one. Having just gotten a woman acquitted of a murder charge, he is juggling cases ranging from breaking a will to quashing the disorderly-conduct charges against the son of a woman he knew in the old neighborhood, before he became a hot-shot counsellor. He adores his wife Cora, who feels she married a bit below her station--as do his stepchildren. His secretary Rexy adores him, although he is oblivious to the fact. Threatened with losing his practice due to a discretion in a case seven years earlier, his wife leaves for Europe until the scandal blows over, and he comes to realize (just in time) who his true friends are.
