"Di fronte a ogni codardo brucia un cane di paglia."
Cane di paglia
David Summer, un giovane professore americano, si rifugia con la moglie nel villaggio natale di lei, in Inghilterra, per dedicarsi ai suoi studi di matematica.

Il tutto culmina in un vero e proprio assalto alla casa, nel corso del quale il professore mette la sua intelligenza al servizio di una feroce autodifesa.
