Defending the suspect is deemed hopeless, so the case is handed to a novice. But the novice's superiors didn't count on the tenacity and wit of the young and hungry Horace Rumpole, as he defends the accused alone and without a leader for the very first time. This two-part adaptation of the novel by John Mortimer also marks the beginning of Rumpole's life-long liason with Hilda (\"She Who Must Be Obeyed\"). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eRumpole and the Family Pride\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cbr\u003eWe rejoin Rumpole and Hilda in the late 1950s, when they have been married for a year or two.
