What happens to men who break the law in this small village community? They are sent to live at the rectory with the priests for a week of reformatory discipline. Life in the rectory is sheer misery for these men. Day in and day out, they are put to work doing manual labor, hours of prayer, and must endure strict corporal punishment for the smallest infraction. In order to ensure the men stay pure of mind, they are fixed with a chastity device.

Every day in the late afternoon, the townspeople eagerly gather to watch the unfortunate penitent being taken on his walk of shame by one of the clergymen. Fresh from a paddling, the man is dressed in humiliating garments that restrict his movements with maximum discomfort. With his ears pinched with clothespins, he's marched through the entire village to the delight of his jeering friends and family.

One would think that such punishment would dissuade these men from transgressing, but there is always a steady queue of misbehaving brutes who are caught and sent to the priests to pay for their crimes. It's not uncommon for the rectory to be occupied for 4 or 5 men at a time. Repeat offenders must stay for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Dads who step out of line themselves can't escape the long arm of their own father's law.
