Documentary about the national pastime of blaming the movies for society's ills.

The program chronicles the pre-Hayes Code when countless local authorities -- from mayors and police departments down to citizens groups and lone citizens -- could ban films from their communities for arbitrary and sometimes sinister reasons.
