aka Trouble at Sixteen. Young Hellions. A new kid in school Tony Baker (Russ Tamblyn), immediately starts to make an impression by muscling his way into the drug suppliers, the wheelers and dealers, run by J.I. Colridge (John Drew Barrymoore). The teachers try to reform him, and the kids dig his scene, but he seems to be above them all, following his own agenda, but what is it he's really after?
A typical 50's drugsploitation posing as a morality play, but this one is chock full of hip beat talking hep cats, hot broads, and the usual naive view of drugs. A real time capsule of the late 50's nihilistic American teen/beat world view. Worth watching just to hear some of the most fantastic one liners as Tony puts down all around him. Worth watching a few times just to catch it all.
