Serious Charge is a drama film released on April 30, 1959, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-six minutes. The story follows Howard Phillips, a vicar who is new in the town of Bellington and wants to reach out to youth. Hester Peters, the previous vicar's daughter who fears being a spinster, wants to be his wife, but he tells her he is not interested. When Phillips confronts a tough kid about something the youth has done, the lad sets out to frame the vicar. Hester, who has walked in on the confrontation, backs the youth's story. Consequently, the town sides with her and the lad, turning against Phillips and causing him to experience a crisis of faith. The narrative explores his options and whether anyone can help him, his reputation, or his calling.
