While distracted by side boob and peek-a-boo butt cheek on yet another paradise planet, young Wesley accidentally breaks a law and is to be put to death. Lawyer Picard must argue with a less developed species for his freedom.

Is ignorance of the law a valid defense? Why didn't the Prime Directive stop us from visiting this planet in the first place?
