This film is dedicated to the events of 1925 in Deuton, Tennessee, when a school teacher was convicted of teaching evolutionary theory, which was prohibited at that time. Despite the moral victory of the lawyer (previously protested against such a ban) in these debates, the teacher was convicted and sentenced to a fine of $ 100.
