[1][2] Socialite Pamela Starr meets Mr Tedford, an older man in a London night club.

After he escorts her home he tries to enter her flat feeling he has deserved the right to sleep with her as he has paid for her entertainment.

Watching the trial is Matron O'Neil, who was formerly Pamela's mother until she divorced her husband and left to go nursing around the troubled world to help those in need.

Pamela had never known her mother and her late libertine father had denied her moral leadership and discipline in raising her.
