A ten year old girl has accused a man of groping her as she made her way past his seat in the cinema. However, it is the girls' mother who is in the dock accused of blackmailing the man, demanding money from him in return for not reporting the incident to the police. The man denies the child's' accusation and claims that he had slapped her leg for being rude to him.

Geoffrey Hainton's agent Michael Lawford-Brown gives evidence and claims he overheard Grace Moresby demanding £100. Barrister Helen Tate calls John Bray, a witness who contacted her claiming to have vital information.

Grace Moresby claims Geoffrey Hainton offered her £100 to keep quiet about a sexual assault. The prosecution, however, claim Mrs. Moresby, desperately, needed money because she was paying off her sister's debts when she fled to America
