Сер Вілфрід Робартс - дуже успішний і відомий в юридичних колах адвокат, але вже старий і хворий. Після повернення з лікарні він повинен дотримуватися режиму та приймати різні ліки. Стежити за своїм здоров'ям йому допомагає уважна, наполеглива медсестра міс Плімсолл. Лікарі заборонили хворому адвокатові братися за кримінальні справи, але в той же день, коли він повернувся з лікарні, його добрий друг і колега просить допомоги. Його клієнта Леонарда Воула можуть звинуватити у вбивстві...
