At first, this looks like yet another youth gone wild film from the 1950s--and they made a ton of them! However, the plot is a bit different and offers a fresher option to the usual B-movie involving teenage gangs and the dreaded rock 'n roll.
The film involves your friendly neighborhood gang of dirt-bags. However, instead of the usual mayhem, their leader, Hal McQueen, decides they should make a big score. So, he arranges for the gang to attack a liquor store owner's daughter and Hal steps in and saves the day. She is taken by him and thinks he's a hero--and then he can spring his trap. They'll kidnap her and use her to get hold of a payroll. However, there is an unexpected problem--Hal finds that he's actually starting to care about this girl. What's he to do? If he tries to back out now, his 'friends' might beat him to a pulp.
Like so many of the juvenile films, the actors are clearly NOT young. In fact, most look like they are about 30! Juveniles?! I don't think so! Still, the film does offer a few nice twists and isn't just some cheap exploitation film (despite the title). A decent time-passer made very economically.
