Synopsis
Richard Dadier, un jeune professeur d'anglais, obtient un poste dans une école d'un quartier défavorisé de New York. Il doit, à sa grande surprise, affronter une classe très dure, qui se désintéresse totalement de son enseignement. Ni la patience, ni l'autorité, qu'il est bientôt obligé d'exercer avec ses poings, ne viennent à bout de la fureur de ces adolescents d'origines et de milieux très différents. Un jour, Dadier se porte au secours d'une de ses collègues, la belle Lois Hammond, victime d'une tentative de viol. A la suite de cet incident, Anne, l'épouse du professeur, ne tarde pas à recevoir des lettres anonymes accusant Dadier d'avoir une liaison avec Lois…
