* The kids that live today like there's no tomorrow!

* The real story - too long untouched! The rotten core - too long unprobed! The big questions - too long unanswered...about the ravaged lives in today's adolescent jungles!

Scotty White (age 19) must stop ‘going steady’ with Janice Wilson (age 16) when Janice’s parents intervene. Frustrated, idle and without Janice’s restraining influence, Scotty encounters Cholly and his band of disorganized, fun-loving delinquents. Soon he has Janice (who seems considerably the more mature of the two) mixed up in their doings, which begin to seem less and less like harmless fun....
