An amateur film produced by Altrincham Grammar School. The fiction film tells the story of a wild boy living in the woods who the local people are afraid of. A Professor, his wife and son, Tony, trap the boy and teach him to speak and wear clothes. When the mother's necklace goes missing, the family immediately blame and punish the wild boy. Distraught, the wild boy returns to the woods. Once the Professor and his wife realise Tony was the culprit all along, they return to the woods to find the wild boy. Tony gets into an accident and is rescued by the wild boy. The boy is a hero and the family apologise to him. |
