Edgar is a nice, normal, clever 11-year-old - and he's had enough of being bullied. He organises the other children into a police force, and they set out to bring justice to the school. Their law-and-order game is such a success there are no more 'criminals'. But the story takes a sinister turn when an unpopular teacher publicly humiliates Edgar and he decides revenge is rightfully his.
Written by Arthur Ellis, who previously wrote two ScreenPlays for the BBC, The Black and Blue Lamp and Christine.
