Ornithologist Abner Peacock sells his modest bird‑watching periodical to a scheming publisher, who repurposes it into a racy women’s magazine that becomes a huge financial hit. When obscenity charges are brought against Peacock and the magazine, he is drawn into a courtroom battle, reluctantly emerges as a champion of free expression, and ultimately embraces a flamboyant libertine lifestyle.
