Try this:
 
S      W     N      E
1S   2C    4S     5C
5S     X
 
South decides to bid 1S with a hand that meets the rule of 20.  9 hcp + 11 cards in longest suits.  This is a real stretch (south should not count a point for the stiff jack) but it makes the hand more interesting.
 
West overcalls 2 clubs.  West is strong enough to double and bid later but doesn't like doubling with only 4 red cards. 
 
North decides to bid what north thinks south can make and that's 4 spades. 
 
East decides to bid 5 clubs with 6 4 distribution.  Who knows it might even make.
 
South is the bidder that can't quit and decides to bid 5 spades with a distribtional hand and favorable vulnerability.
 
West wonders who added extra high cards to the card deck.  West decides to double.
 
West leads the spade 3 against the doubled contract to cut down ruffs.
 
South wins on dummy - cashes heart ace, ruffs a heart, ruffs a diamond, ruffs a heart, ruffs a diamond and leads a small club to the jack.  South probably goes down 1.
