A seedy lawyer has been waiting for years to make a grandstand defense
He is assigned to defend an innocuous little man accused of murdering his wife in this one act play
The man cheerfully admits his guilt; he simply couldn't stand his wife's constant joking and laughing
The trial ends and the verdict is a foregone conclusion
The lawyer begs his client to let him appeal
Ironically the man is reprieved because of the ineptitude of his defense
