Durch eine Verwechslung sind die beiden unschuldigen Jungs des Mordes angeklagt worden. Der Haken an der Sache: Winnie hat noch nie an einem Prozeß teilgenommen. Der strenge Richter spart auch nicht mit Verwarnungen. Nur Winnies Talent für abwegige Argumente rettet Bill und Stan vor einer schnellen Verurteilung. Winnie reißt sich trotz widriger Umstände zusammen. Letztlich ist es aber das Verdienst seiner attraktiven Verlobten Mona Lisa und ihres hellen Köpfchens, daß Bill und Stan freigesprochen werden.
