A stray mongrel, a former lawyer with a grudge and his ex-wife's family lead to a story of heroism and redemption in Almost a Gentleman. When the family of promising lawyer Dan Preston's (James Ellison) wife, Marian Mabrey (June Clayworth), poisoned their relationship and destroyed their marriage, Dan abandoned his career and set off traveling. He returns a few years later, discovers that a pretty young novelist has moved into his house and takes in a stray dog to compete with his ex-in-laws' pedigreed champion. But when Marian is kidnapped, Dan and his mongrel are the one's who rescue her.
