SYNOPSIS:


A student who refuses to kill a dog as part of his "Hell Night" fraternity initiation is later hounded to his death, prompting college professor Paul Henreid to push for reforms. Henreid also produced and directed this hard-hitting expose on college hazing, which features early performances from Russell (Gilligan's Island) Johnson and Vera (Psycho) Miles.

Tough college student Tod Palmer (Robert Sherman) patiently suffers increasingly severe hazing at the hands of sadistic Ky Walker (Russell Johnson) while pledging a fraternity at Wake College. Attempting to bring the ritual initiation abuses to the authorities' attention, Tod accidentally dies after fleeing from the angry fraternity brothers. Medical professor Dr. Stephen Brice (Paul Henreid) then tries to end the practice of hazing, determined to obtain justice for one of his best students.
