To Catch a Butterfly

Bill and Janet Nelson move into a new home next door to a family named Stander. Unfortunately, the Stander's son Eddie is a homicidal monster. Eddie kills the Nelson's dog and then runs a trip wire across the cellar stairs that almost causes Janet to break her neck. Bill knows that Eddie is responsible, but Eddie's father Jack Stander won't do anything. Jack controls the boy's life with an iron hand. It is later revealed that Eddie is not the source of the problems. Eddie, himself, is a victim of parental misunderstanding.

Les Nelson s'installent dans un quartier pavillonnaire paisible mais subissent bientôt des désagréments de la part de leurs voisins et plus précisément de leur fils, le petit Eddie Stander qui a un comportement dangereux et en vient à tuer leur chien domestique mais Jack, le père d'Eddie, un homme dur et violent ne croit pas la version de Monsieur Nelson.
