    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A scene in which a group of children tar-and-feather another child was excluded from the final print at the request of the PCA.
    • Goofs
      The doctor said he had a corpus delicti in his office, meaning a dead body. Corpus delicti are the elements that make up a crime. The dead body of a victim could be the corpus delicti, but a doctor would never say "I have a corpus delicti down there..." implying that "corpus delicti" is synonymous to a victim's corpse.
