Directed by Charles R. Rondeau, this 1960 melodrama follows well-to-do teenager Danny Winslow (Lowell Brown), who flees his privileged existence and takes to life on the streets, where he falls under the tutelage of a streetwise drifter named Bix Dugan (Brett Halsey). When Bix is accused of murdering a small-town waitress (Joyce Meadows), Danny is forced to come up with a way to rescue his mentor from the wrath of the town lynch mob.
