Short summary

Rumpole finds himself on a British army base in Germany defending a trooper who is charged with murdering his sergeant who was found dead outside a local bar and dressed as a woman. He's welcomed with open arms by the regiment's senior officers who expect the trooper to be found innocent, thus preserving the honour of the regiment. He finds any number of possible solutions to the crime and an overly eager legal officer. Rumpole also finds himself before his old Chambers-mate George Frobisher, now a judge in the military justice system.

The credits of this episode, which is set in a British army barracks in Germany, acknowledge "the kind co-operation of The Commanding Officer and All Ranks of First Armoured Division Headquarters and Signal Regiment, and The Army Legal Corps".
