Part lawyer, part detective, Horace Rumple has a brilliant mind and sly sense of humor. His resourcefulness and unorthodoxy match that of Perry Mason, but with his crumpled bow tie, white wig, and interior monologues, Rumpole is more colorful and complicated.
Before there was Quincy and The Practice, there was RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY. It has served as a model for all law dramas to follow. Funny and satirical, RUMPOLE OF THE BAILEY is based on acclaimed author John Mortimer's books of the same name. Follow days-in-the-life of Rumpole, as he gets into trouble with his wife, his peers, the head of chambers, and the judges in his pursuit of championing the downtrodden.
