Crime in the Streets

A social worker makes a profound impact by building strong bonds with troubled city youth, instilling hope and direction in their lives.

On the gritty streets of a city, teenage boys join gangs at 15, led by Frankie, an 18-year-old seething with anger. When a neighbor reports a gang member wielding a zip gun, Frankie plots to kill the old man, enlisting the help of Lou and "Baby", a 15-year-old immigrant shopkeeper's son. A social worker, Ben Wagner, tries to intervene, but Frankie's brother Richie, who idolizes and fears him, discovers his plan. Will Frankie's destructive path lead to a catastrophic downfall?
