A pop star is on the verge of hitting the big time. Only a former manager is arguing that he has breached his contract.
The manager is looking for a big settlement. Main thinks he is trying it on.
A trip to the pub comes to the pop star's rescue. The former manager had left him to fend for himself.
The more interesting case related to Sidney Bulmer's son in law, George. He savagely beat up a suspected peadophile who tried to abduct his young daughter.
With no witnesses, it doesn't look good for George. Then a retired major comes to see Main.
There is a nice little question mark about the Major's credibility left hanging. It also shows the gulf between Main and others when it comes to law and ethics in a more modern age. Do note that the modern age was the late 1960s!
