It presented short, humorous vignettes which ran with musical accompaniment rather than a soundtrack, and challenged panellists to guess which obscure law was being broken by the Lawbreaker character portrayed by Paul Soles , who always got arrested at the end of the vignette Robert Warner actor Robert Warner starred as the police officer . The vignettes were quite subtle, and more often than not, despite many guesses, the panellists were unable to come up with the law that was actually being broken. The vignettes alternated with depictions of actual court cases, presented in a series of still cartoons, in storyboard format, with narration. The narrator would end by asking a question about how the judge eventually ruled. The four panellists would each guess what the judge decided, and why, and each panellist would conclude by lighting up a large Yes or No in front of his or her seat. After all four panellists had guessed, the answer would be revealed. Paul Soles himself was the first show host for the initial 1971 summer episodes. Austin Willis became host from the regular 1971 fall season until the end of the series.
