Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development project near her childhood Coney Island home where her parents still live. Although Lucy is able to effect the type of change she wanted from this position, she finds she cannot deal with George's expectations of her, namely being his primary confidante and advisor at all hours of the day and night, mostly about issues she considers frivolous. As such, she gives him two weeks notice, although she promises to help George find her replacement. As Lucy begins to review resumes, George himself unilaterally decides to hire June Carver, a fellow Harvardite, but who seems to have her sights set on George as both a boss and personal partner. As June begins to replace Lucy in seemingly all aspects of George's life, Lucy begins to realize that she herself has fallen for George. However, Lucy's feelings for George and her attempts to re-ingratiate herself into George's life are placed into jeopardy when she learns of a Wade Corporation decision against her basic sensibilities.

"How can frightened people change anything?" Claudine (1974) by Tina and Lester Pine is touted as a "heart and soul comedy" about a struggling, single mother of six feisty children, who takes a rare leap of faith to date a smooth and amorous garbage man. Claudine Price (Diahann Carroll) thinks she found herself a prince of a man in Rupert "Roop" Marshall (James Earl Jones)-a hardworking man who seems genuinely interested in her and her defensive kids. He's attentive, affectionate, and persistent with Claudine, and he slowly earns the trust, better behavior, and affection of the children. The romance is steady and strong, and Rupert proposes to a hopeful Claudine, despite his reluctance to deal with the irrational and unhelpful rules of the Social Service department. When Rupert gets a "willful neglect" notice along with a wage garnishment for child support, however, he goes into a rage, quits his job, and disappears from Claudine's life on the day the children throw him a Father's Day party. The disbelieving and despondent Claudine and the kids now struggle to adjust to Roop's absence, and Charles, the oldest of the six, goes out to confront a drunk Roop at a bar. Roop is hardly in any state to fight back, so he gives Charles a bear hug and shows up later that night, in front of their apartment building, to say goodbye to everyone. What happens, instead, is a heartwarming exchange where Roop complains that Claudine's family is too much for him to handle financially, and the kids reassure him that they won't be as unmanageable as he thinks. Roop and Claudine get married and galvanize their new family unit by banning together to protect the impassioned Charles from the police. Themes of family, faith, following one's heart, and fighting for what is right are woven throughout this story based in civil unrest and family disharmony.
