The Male Animal
Tommy Turner est un gentil professeur d'anglais un peu borné enseignant dans une université dans laquelle plusieurs professeurs ont été licenciés parce qu'ils étaient soupçonnés d'être communistes. Inconscient du danger, Turner confie à un étudiant qu'il compte lire à sa classe, à des fins de prose littéraire, une lettre écrite par l'anarchiste Bartolomeo Vanzetti. L'étudiant en question publie alors un article séditieux dans le journal de l’université, dans lequel il raconte la chose et glorifie Turner en écrivant qu'il est le genre de professeurs dont a besoin l'université.

Voilà à présent notre gentil professeur dans de beaux draps : soit il fait ce qu'il a annoncé (lire la lettre en public), soit il perd son emploi.
