Synopsis
English instructor and Shakespeare enthusiast Jake Horner is treated in a sanitarium run by Doctor D. Among the psychiatrist's novel methods are exposure to multi-media stimuli and the realization of fantasy. Horner, for example, observes a fellow inmate enjoying intercourse with an indignant chicken. Following his discharge, the intellectual accepts a teaching position at a local university, where he is befriended by Joe, a gun enthusiast, who promptly encourages an affair between his wife, Rennie, and colleague Horner. When Rennie becomes pregnant, however, the pedant insists on an abortion. Performed by Doctor D, its issue is tragic. Rennie suffocates, and the teacher and physician dispose of her corpse in a nearby lake.
