Back at the turn of the century the Police Courts had a few more disciplinary measures they could hand out than perhaps is available today. Prominent among them were the birch and cat of nine tails. Convicted young felons could often expect a dose of these judicial stingers!
First before the justice's that day is a fit young lad known as George Green (Leonardo King) He had been up before the court in the past and this time the judge was in no mood to compromise. For his crime he would receive one month in custody for correctional training and twenty five strokes of the birch. Unofficially the judge also penciled a recommendation that he should also go 'over a prison officers knee' for a good spanking to reflect his approach to law and order! Face down on the birching table, bare backside raised for the rod, George would quickly decide to adjust his future behaviour!
Also before the court is Daniel McGregor (Rudi Vallance) this young man is a well known lad about town. A bad un, as labelled by the locals, often involved in some surreptitious scrape or another. The Justice was loathed to send him to jail as in fact he did have some redeeming character traits. He spared him custody but sentenced the lad to a wake up flogging with the cat, to be administered to the bare posteriors in the manner of a boy! The Justice being an ex naval man new how to go about these things especially with disorderly young men. On top of this a spanking would seem appropriate too, given the childish way McGregor had seen fit to behave!
