Cheating is a short 1950s film on the temptation and dangers of cheating. We follow John Taylor as he struggles with math and faces down the temptation of cheating.

He cheats and later gets caught.

And from there his high school life goes down the drain.

Serious Business: Then again you really shouldn't cheat.
What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?
