Il se lance dans une campagne de persuasion auprès du ministre de l'Intérieur afin d'autoriser les maisons closes. Celles-ci seraient évidemment surveillées - et cofinancées - par le gouvernement. Rapidement, l'opinion publique s'émeut. Pendant ce temps, Walter Leybourne, sincèrement concerné par le sort réservé aux prostituées, lutte pour améliorer leurs conditions de vie.
