In their bet about which is crueler, live-long imprisonment or capital punishment, the banker and the lawyer wager their futures. The young lawyer argues that life on any terms is better than death.
He feels like a normal man at beginning but later, the study study of philosophy and theology changes his mind. He realizes how silly it all was and decides to release the banker from the bet. Perhaps he wasted 15 years for nothing but he gained immense maturity.
