- A local politician in Scotland tries to break the reporter who wrote a negative story about him, and who is also in love with his daughter.
- A Greek artisan is commissioned to cast the cup of Christ in silver, and sculpt around its rim, the faces of the disciples and Jesus. He travels to Jerusalem and eventually to Rome to complete the task. Meanwhile, a nefarious interloper is trying to convince the crowds that he is the new Messiah, by using nothing more than cheap parlor tricks.
- Winifred Holtby realised that local government is not a dry affair of meetings and memoranda, but the front-line defence thrown up by humanity against its common enemies of sickness, poverty and ignorance. She built her story around six people working for a typical county council. Beneath the lives of the public servants runs the thread of their personal drama. The story tells how a public life affects the private life; and how a man's personal sufferings make him what he is in public. Corruption, intrigue and romance in a Yorkshire setting where country squire whose wife is in a mental hospital becomes attracted to a crusading local schoolmistress.
