Overview
Paul Pennyfeather, a mild-mannered theology student at Oxford in the 1920s, finds his academic journey derailed when he becomes the target of a cruel prank orchestrated by the notorious Bollinger Club.

As he grapples with the fallout from his dismissal, Pennyfeather's misadventures highlight the absurdities of societal norms and the complexities of university life during that era. This sharp satire captures both the humor and poignancy of a young man's struggle against circumstance.
