A discussion film about a police officer who is suspended from the police department for forcing a confused citizen to identify a suspect

Melville Farr (Dirk Bogarde) is a successful barrister in London. Farr is approached by "Boy" Barrett (Peter McEnery), a younger working class man with whom Farr has a romantic but non-sexual relationship. Barrett is blackmailed by blackmailers who have a picture of Farr and Barrett in a vehicle together, in which Barrett is crying with Farr's arm around him. Barrett has stolen £2,300 from his employers to pay the blackmail, is being pursued by the police, and needs help to flee the country. Barrett hangs himself in a police cell after Farr
