Synopsis

Lawyer Tutt refuses to cross the street for a $5 million account, but goes clear to Pottsville to draw up a will for Jim Lawton, staying there until he successfully contests a claim to a woman's farm, proving to his assistant that more is gained through the reading of law books than from beating up the opposition.
