The fanaticly uncompromising Len Rowan and his family insult and terrorize the citizens of a
small town since years. One day the comment of a saleswoman about Len's son not being able to
pay his sweets triggers off his persecution complex. As revenge for the believed insult, the
whole family starts stalking the shop owner and her husband... until this escalates and the old
man gets badly injured. Len is arrested, but gets free on bail. His clever attorney delays the
court session for more than a year - while Rowen keeps on threatening the witnesses. But then
the people feel they've had enough of this and decide to take the law in their own hands...
