by Michael Gilbert ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 12, 1953
Headmaster Wilfrid Wetherall, subject to a malignant type of obstinacy, finds that the big business of food and liquor redistribution is not an easy league to play in when troubles with his students, a restauranteur and a patent medicine firm engage his interest. A tie-in with a newspaper, eventual support from Hazelrigg of Scotland Yard and a show-down with his school board blasts an English racket. Yoicks.
