Sid is in favour of finding the accused guilty before changing his mind when Hancock mentions that the jurors are being paid 30 shillings a day for their services.
By using appeals to sentiment, emotional blackmail and talk of the fine tradition of British justice, Hancock gradually manages to persuade the other jurors to change their minds in favour of a not guilty verdict.
The juror's words give Hancock second thoughts, and he has an abrupt change of opinion in favour of finding the accused guilty.
The episode ends with all twelve previous jury members appearing in the dock, accused of the theft of a £20,000 diamond ring, with Hancock — still acting as spokesman for the ex-jurors — pleading guilty on behalf of them all, saying a prison sentence will be shorter than the trial.
