該劇講述了艾倫-肖被Young, Frutt,and Berluti公司解僱後,決定為Crane, Poole, and Schmidt律師行工作。在上司丹尼-克瑞恩的幫助下,他打贏了幾件沒人願意接手的案子,他迅速建立起自己的威信。並因此聲名遠揚。 艾倫在工作上的傑出成績和他慣用的不光彩手段,讓恪守傳統價值觀念的同事布拉德非常不滿,兩人進而成為工作中的競爭對手。
跳槽到克瑞恩律師行的艾倫,為了打贏官司經常在法庭上運用種種與傳統道德觀相悖的伎倆,儘管不夠光明磊落卻屢試不爽。Crane Poole and Schmidt 律師行中最為吃香的一個律師。私生活很亂,喜歡調戲他周圍的女性。對朋友很忠誠。
丹尼·克瑞恩(Denny Crane)
艾倫的導師、上司兼密友,也是Crane,Poole,and Schmidt法律事務公司的合伙人之一。年紀愈來愈大的他經常是忘性大於記性,給工作帶來不少麻煩。口頭禪是“My name is on the door”(意思是“這是我的公司”),這句話常用於恐嚇其他人;另一句是“Denny Crane” 用來表明自己的地位,因為Denny可以說是法律界最為出名最讓人崇拜的律師。
