Plot:
The fanatically-uncompromising Len Rowan and his family have been insulting and terrorizing the citizens of a small town for years. One day a saleswoman's comment about Len's son not paying for candy triggers 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 freed on bail. His clever attorney delays the court session for more than a year--while Rowan keeps threatening the witnesses. The people decide that they've had enough and decide to take the law into their own hands.
