Cleaver is presented by best friend and solicitor Barney with a case he can't resist - the defence of Professor Graham Murray, a world renowned economist accused of cannibalism and murder.
Unable to resist her charms, Cleaver agrees to defend an old flame - now a successful radio shock jock Eddie Langhorn - who's charged with inciting racial hatred.
Attorney General Joe Sandilands is 'outed' as a brothel patron and is devastated by the scandal. Meanwhile, Cleaver is hit over the head during a botched robbery at a pharmacy.
