I think that the writing needed a storm and the latter occurring towards the end of the film was really anything but climatic.
We have the private school with the very liberal schoolmaster who wants to take charge of recalcitrant Sylvia from a broken home. Just like in today's urban school setting, the guy taking charge would fit right in with his refusal to discipline this holy terror despite her writing of the school being filled with leprosy and her trashing of his living quarters.
In the interim, our hero finds love with a plane-crash victim whose plane went down in front of the school, but she goes back and forth to a guy with a rich wife who has him on a string.
Sylvia has got quite an imagination and of course that leads to her downfall.
As the headmaster, Alexander Knox is rather benign here and his wife, a neurotic, frustrated woman has designs on our hero as well. It's quite a mess and the writing is awful.
