In the slums, teenager Frankie Warren hangs out with a rowdy gang who one day knock him out in a fight. In court, the boys refuse to reveal who struck the knockout blow, and all are subsequently sentenced to a reformatory, cruelly run by two corrupt guards. New deputy commissioner Mark Braden arrives determined to change things, but despite the help of Frankie's sister, Mark's reform plans -- and Frankie's future -- may be sabotaged from within.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy reformatory drama where street kids bristle against a corrupt system, finding redemption through both institutional change and personal loyalty. It's earnest mid-Depression cinema about whether society can save its throwaway youth.
