Public Defender Gary Franklin (Paul Kelly), frustrated by being unable to
save criminal Dutch Adams (John Tyrrell) from a death sentence by
blaming the slums enviroment as the cause of Dutch's crimes, enlists the
aid of Dutch's sister, Marcia Adams (Rita Hayworth), to get the slum
dwellers at appeal for public monies to provide recreational places for
the slum kids. The Governor provides seed money for the creation of PAL
(the Police Athletic League) and all is going well until "Stubby" Adams
(Frankie Darro, hacked about something as usual)holds up the box office
at a fund raiser for the PAL, and puts the project in jeopardy. Do-gooder
story aside, the film is basically a Columbia version of the Dead End Kids,
with the hard-headed Darro standing in for Leo Gorcey and Hally Chester
as his stand-in Huntz Hall-like punching bag.
