Plot:
In Edwardian England, 13-year-old cadet Ronnie Winslow is expelled from the naval academy at Osborn for stealing a 5-shilling postal order.

Mr Winslow then goes to Sir Robert Morton, a brilliant barrister and MP, who examines Ronnie and suggests that they take the matter before Parliament to seek permission to sue the Crown.
