The film's young protagonists, Jean Louise "Scout" Finch (Mary Badham) and her brother Jem (Phillip Alford), live in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the 1930s. The story covers three years, during which Scout and Jem undergo changes in their lives. They begin as innocent children, who spend their days happily playing games with each other and spying on Arthur "Boo" Radley, the town bogeyman (Robert Duvall). Through their father, Atticus (Gregory Peck)'s work as a lawyer, they begin to learn of the racism and evil prevalent in their town, and mature painfully as they are exposed to it.
