He claims that they are not all from the under-privileged classes, many being the product of parental neglect "A dramatization follows of the case of four boys who, when their parents show insuf- ficient interest in them, turn to crime. The father of one of the quartet happily offers to take him fishing, and this is the turning point in the boy's life. He does not go back to the gang "The others are involved in a series of petty thefts, finally securing a revolver. A hold-up is planned, the fourth boy urged to join them. He refuses, and finally confesses to his father who tells the father of the boy with the gun. The police are notified and ap- pear on the scene just after the three have held up a restaurant and shot the owner. One of the boys is killed, the other two captured. "The judge sentences them to long prison terms, but severely reproves the parents for not adequately supervising their children. "Should be valuable for social studies. Not recommended for grades below the senior high school."
