Handlung
Der Junge Michael Dunn tritt in die katholische St. Basil's School, eine Franziskanerschule in New York, ein. Doch schon bald muss er erfahren, daß sich im Lehrkörper der Ordensbrüder ausgesprochene Sadisten tummeln, die barbarische Erziehungsmethoden und abschreckende Machtansprüche haben. Zusammen mit vier Freunden versucht Michael, sich dem rigiden Regelsystem dieses überholten Erziehungskonzeptes entgegenzustellen...
