Plot Overview
A sad irony overshadows Judd's defense of a wealthy society matron charged with drunken driving--the presiding judge is a chronic alcoholic in his own right. Given that his unorthodox decisions impact Judd's case, he decides to risk potential charges of misconduct to prove that the judge's alcoholism clouds his decisions.
