Pint-sized sixth-grader Mouse Fawley (Christian Juttner) is tired of being picked on by school bully Marv Hammerman (Jim Sage). Out of frustration, Mouse labels Hammerman as a "Neanderthal" -- and alas, word of this insult quickly reaches our hero's tormentor. Advised that Hammerman is coming after him, Mouse spends the bulk of this ABC Afterschool Special trying to run away from a dire fate -- until he finally realizes that he can't run away from himself. Ultimately, Mouse learns a valuable (if somewhat painful) lesson in self-respect.
A sixth-grader has a run-in with the class bully, who then wants to meet with him after school. Starring Lance Kerwin (James at 15, Enemy Mine) and Willie Aames (Eight Is Enough, Charles in Charge, Bibleman); based on Betsy Byars's novel.
