The series revolved around a solicitor Frances Mo (Carol Cheng) and her paralegal advisor Yu Lok-tin (Dayo Wong).

Their relationship extends past the office as they both live in the same apartment which gives them more opportunities to cross paths.

Between avoiding the "spinster" label and creatively fighting trivial lawsuits, Frances uses her wit and class to outsmart her main rival, solicitor Alex Pao (Joseph Lee).

There is a play (Man & Woman In Love, 男親女愛舞台劇) performed by the original cast as the ending of the series in November to December 2000.

Though not the originator of the phrase "Siu Keung" (小強), this series helped cement it as a colloquial way of referring to cockroaches.
