Bully Brutality: The main bully, Melvin Moody, assaults Clifford Peache, so much that he hires a fellow classmate as his bodyguard, prompting to get his own Psycho for Hire, a grown-ass adult who pummels the bodyguard and wrecks his motorcycle before a whole crowd of onlookers. Later Clifford and his bodyguard rematch the villains in another brutal, public fistfight that one would expect to draw the attention of the local police's gang taskforce.
