Dispatch worker Raj Singh is accused of stealing merchandise from the Electrotoy factory where he worked and of wounding his supervisor Ronald Makepeace. The Prosecution argue that the goods were found in the boot of Singh's car by Mr. Makepeace whom he then assaulted in a fit of anger. However Singh denies both charges. He retorts that the items were planted in his car, the culmination of a campaign of racially-motivated harassment throughout his employment.
