Based on Robert Marasco's play, this psychological drama is about a new teacher, Paul Reis (Beau Bridges), who observes violence among his students' activities at a Catholic boarding school. He suspects that teachers Jerome Malley (James Mason) and Joseph Dobbs (Robert Preston), who rival each other for position, are behind the violence. The school's headmaster, Father Mozian (Ron Weyand), blames Malley who, in turn, is so upset by the accusation that he commits suicide. Reis learns that it is Dobbs who has encouraged the students' violent behavior and confronts him. Meanwhile, the students in the next room overhear the conversation between Reis and Dobbs, and after Reis leaves the room, they appear with clenched fists to deal with Dobbs.
