The Ruling Class (1972)
Als der Earl of Gurney bei einem Cross-Dressing-Unfall ums Leben kommt, erbt sein schizophrener Sohn Jack das Anwesen von Gurney. Jack ist kein durchschnittlicher Adliger; er singt und tanzt über das Anwesen und denkt, er sei der reinkarnierte Jesus. Im Glauben, dass Jack geistig nicht in der Lage ist, das Anwesen zu besitzen, plant die Familie Gurney, Jacks Erbe zu stehlen. Als ihre ungeheuerlichen Pläne scheitern, versucht die Familie, Jack von seinem bizarren Verhalten zu heilen – mit katastrophalen Folgen...
