In the slums, teenager Frankie Warren hangs out with a rowdy gang (The Dead End Kids) 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 (Humphrey Bogart) arrives determined to change things, but despite the help of Frankie's sister (Gale Page), Mark's reform plans -- and Frankie's future -- may be sabotaged from within.

See more Steve D 03/13/2024 I continue to be embarrassed for Bogart. See more CodyZamboni 11/20/2022 Movie is watchable only for the cool, empathetic peformance by Humphrey Bogart, as he tries to redeem a bunch of reform school punks. The Dead End Kids ? They are annoying as hell, I couldn't care less about those losers. See more Russell J 10/03/2022 Bogart plays the forward thinking and compassionate warden of a reform school for boys. Pretty predictable. See more Read all reviews
