School teacher Juliet Tomlin is accused of indecently assaulting one of her 15 year old pupils. She denies the charge, but it has come to light that the pupil, named in court only as Robin, recently spent two nights at the house of the teacher. Were the pair conducting an illicit affair, or did they simply become the victims of misplaced playground and staffroom gossip?

John Gilroy became suspicious of his son Robin when he saw a change in his character. He later learned he had become too friendly with teacher Juliet Tomlin. All attempts to end their friendship failed. Robin Gilroy gives his evidence.

Dr. Eva Penny cautions that some of Robin's account maybe fantasy. Teacher Juliet Tomlin takes the stand denying they had a sexual relationship. When Robin told her he loved her she felt he overstepped the bounds of their friendship.
