Two young girls, Jean (Janina Fay) and Lucille (Frances Green), are playing when they decide to go get candy from Clarence Olderberry (Felix Aylmer), a mysterious old man who lives in a large mansion nearby. When Jean returns from the mansion, she tells her parents, Peter (Patrick Allen) and Sally (Gwen Watford), that the old man had the girls dance in the nude. Peter and Sally try to press charges, but the police are hesitant to follow through on an accusation against one of the most respected people in town. The case does go to trial, however, and it comes down to the word of a little girl against a rich family and their legal team.
