Newly minted teacher Kim (Pippa Scott) is thrilled to land her first job, even though the principal warns her that the school has a rough reputation. Before classes begin, Kim dates a local, Hank (Robert Harland), and is horrified to learn that he's one of her students. Kim tries to do the right thing and end her relationship with Hank but he continues to pursue her, leading to scandalous rumors. When Kim again rejects him, Hank abducts her.
