One day, Stanley is falsely accused of stealing a pair of sneakers and is convicted. He decides to attend Camp Green Lake, a juvenile detention camp, in lieu of serving a jail sentence. He arrives to find that the camp is a dried-up lake run by the Warden, Louise Walker, her assistant Mr. Sir, and camp counselor Dr. Pendanski. Prisoners spend each day digging holes in the desert to "build character." The inmates are told that they may earn a day off, if they find anything interesting or unusual. After finding a golden lipstick tube initialed K.B. and a fossil, Stanley is accepted into the group and is given the nickname "Caveman." After taking responsibility for Magnet's stealing of Mr. Sir's sunflower seeds, Stanley is taken to the warden's house where old wanted posters and newspapers lead him to suspect that "KB" stands for Kate Barlow. In a series of flashbacks the history of Camp Green Lake is revealed. The town was a lake town, thriving with water and life until Katherine Barlow, a local teacher, was involved in a love triangle with the wealthy Trout Walker, whom Kate rejected, and an African American onion seller named Sam, who Kate loved. Sam helped to rebuild Kate's schoolhouse and became closer and closer to her. One day she kissed Sam. At that time, it was illegal for African American males to be intimate with Caucasian females. The two ignored this and kissed in the schoolhouse. After much turmoil, a group of men from the town, including Walker, burned the schoolhouse. In desperation Kate sought the help of the sheriff, who was drunk in preparation for the hanging of Sam for his crimes. Running to the lake, Kate watched helplessly as Walker on his motorboat rode out and killed Sam whilst he was rowing his boat. The following day Kate returned to the sheriff who she kills in retaliation and becomes an outlaw. Sam's death causes the Green Lake to turn into an arid wasteland. Years later, the now bankrupt Walkers approach Kate and demand she hand over her buried treasure, but Kate responds that they could "dig for a hundred years" and not find it. She grabs a yellow spotted lizard and tells Walker to start digging before allowing it to kill her within minutes. For the next generation the Walker family sets about digging for the treasure but never actually find anything. While digging one day, Pendanski mocks Zero, who responds by hitting Pendanski with a shovel and running into the desert. Stanley pursues and carries Zero Zero up the mountain "God's Thumb", where they find a wild field of onions and a spring, helping them regain strength and at the same time unknowingly fulfilling his ancestor's promise to the fortune teller Madame Zeroni (who is Zero's ancestor), to carry a member of the Zeroni family up the mountain and allow them to drink from the stream whilst singing to them, thus breaking the curse, and restoring his family's luck. Stanley and Zero decide to return to the camp and investigate the hole where Stanley found the lipstick. After digging deeper they uncover a chest just as they are discovered by Walker and Mr. Sir. After escaping Walker with the help of some lizards it's revealed that she is Trout's granddaughter and she was using the inmates to search for the buried treasure for several years. The next morning, the Texas attorney general and Stanley's lawyer arrive, the chest Stanley found is revealed to have belonged to his great-grandfather before being stolen by "Kissing Kate". The warden, Mr. Sir (who is revealed to be a paroled criminal named Marion Sevillo), and Pendanski (who was outed fraud impersonating a doctor) are arrested for perverting the laws of justice. Stanley and Zero are released from the now-under-investigation camp. With justice finally being served, rain returns to Green Lake for the first time in over 100 years. The Yelnats family claims ownership of the chest which contains jewels, old money, deeds and promissory notes which they evenly share with Zero. With Zero's new found fortune he set out to hire his own private investigators who later reunited him with his missing mother. Camp Green Lake was closed and Stanley and his friends heard it was supposed to reopen as a Girl Scout camp. The Yelnats and the Zeronis move to new neighboring houses along with their friends, and Clyde Livingston apologizes to Stanley for accusing him of stealing the shoes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holes (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
