Henry is a mild-mannered philosophy professor at a small Colorado college. He is expecting to be appointed to a prestigious Chair position upon his coming retirement. Enter his successor, a former student of his who has great ambitions that do not include Henry. She announces she will be taking the Chair position herself and getting rid of all the "deadwood", which includes Henry.
Enraged, he deals her a fatal blow. Appalled by his actions, Henry decides to turn himself in until his wife convinces him that covering up the crime would be for the "greater good."
Henry drives the body to a cliff and tosses it over. However, he was observed by a current student who is failing his course. The student tries to blackmail Henry into a passing grade.
Henry and his wife decide that the student "must go" as well, until a bumbling detective shows up with a lot of odd questions.
Does Henry kill the student? Does the detective find out anything? Did Henry really kill anyone?
Everything winds up to a most unexpected resolution that few, if any, could ever figure plausible!
