They have a relationship together but the boss of the gangsters and the boy's older brother finds out and orders the boy to kill his lover. The boy (Laurance) goes to the school teacher (Adrian) and says some very hurtful things, thus provoking the teacher to kill him, and frees him from his bindings. The teacher is captured and tried, then put into an asylum but jumps off the roof so they are together once again.
