Wrongfully jailed for arson, political activist Leopold Dilg escapes and takes refuge at the house of his childhood friend, Nora, unaware that she has recently rented it to a high-principled lawyer. Hilarity ensues as Nora tries to hide Leopold's identity from Professor Lightcap, while the two men enjoy spirited debates about their conflicting views of law.
