Description: A fantasy built around a courtroom trial. Jonathan Mole is a bitter and biased man who dreams he has power and authority in a land called "Adamac." This land has a law which restricts better jobs to people of "pure" stock. Mole, as Lord Chief Justice, hears a case of an Indian, a Jew, and an immigrant on trial for breaking this law. His prejudices override the reasonable and just arguments for the defense, and he convicts the three men to a lifetime of limited opportunity.
