Fred F. Sears directs James Darren in his first role, before his good looks (and singing talent) brought him fame in later films as diverse as The Guns of Navarone, The Brothers Rico and Gidget (as Moondoggie). In this gritty story about street-gang toughs, Darren plays Jimmy Smigelski, who sides off against his own father when one of the local longshoreman's protection racket's goons takes him under his wing. Jimmy's association with the gang brings him into fast company, and soon, Jimmy's family, friends and girlfriend are afraid that Jimmy will go too far, and even become an accessory to murder. Timothy Carey and Robert Blake round out the cast. Newly remastered.
