He and she are in love: she naturally being pregnant, he landing in jail on a trumped-up charge. So, as far as the story takes the reader, this is about her quest to free him and bring about justice. Except that there is no justice for a black when the charge is created by a corrupt white cop. Another episode in Baldwin's Harlem.
