This lawyer-comedy show revolved around three young law
school graduates who had just joined the prestigious Wall
Street firm of Bass and Marshall as associates, beginning
their five- to seven-year trial period. Daughter of a poor
New York family, Leslie was recently graduated from
Columbia, and felt for the oppressed. Bass and Marshall
did not usually represent the oppressed. Tucker, Leslie's
beau, was a Midwesterner slightly out of step with his Ivy
League colleagues, a little naive but very charming. Sara
was a Boston blueblood, bright as well as sexy. They
were all at the mercy of a hierarchy including such odd-
balls as formidable but slightly dotty Senior Partner Emerson
Marshall, 81, and dedicated Junior Partner Eliot Streeter,
who had only one goal--to take over the firm. Waving his
hand, he exclaimed, in the first episode, "I love this
firm. . . .I never told it so, but it knows."
