 Rumpole defends the owner of a chain of massage parlours against charges of keeping bawdy houses. The case has generated a good deal of publicity as many customers were prominent members of the community and to Rumpole s astonishment, paid with credit cards. Guthrie Featherstone, who sought a massage for for a tennis injury, now thinks that may be identified as one of the patrons and Rumpole arranges for him to preside at the trial.
