    Thomas Clarady, Francis Bacon's clerk, tackles a case on his own.When a beautiful young woman comes looking for Bacon's special services, Tom offers himself as a ready substitute. He needs the money and Bacon would probably say no. But as the day progresses, he finds matching wits with the lady and her equally alluring sister to be trickier than he expected.
