The plot revolves around adolescents getting bennies, goofies, and raisinets.
Timothy Farrell plays Umberto Scalli, which, in Italian, means "scuzzball." He runs a racket with a juvenile, supplying the stuff to the local kids. Judge Rosalind Ballantine (Lita Grey) is determined to wipe him out, but she has too much trouble reading her lines. Also, her daughter goes to a pool party with her boyfriend Bob and is photographed au naturel, so Farrell has a bargaining chip. Meanwhile, Sergeant Dave Kerrigan (William Thomason, who looks a little like Ronald Reagan) is dating Bob's sister (Laura Travers, who looks a little like Gloria Grahame). Mildred Davis, who looks a lot like a condominium, provides comic relief as the tubby Tessie T. Tesse, measurements 51-47-64. George Eiferman, who was Mr. America in 1948, has a few scenes, including one where he rips a lock off a locker. He is pretty much useless for the rest of the film.
There are several scenes that take place at a reducing center, so we get to see women in various states of undress. Travers looks decent half naked. Eiferman demonstrates that he has the largest breasts in the cast. The acting is generally abysmal, and the finale is straight out of a Bowery Boys film.
John Mitchum, younger brother of Robert Mitchum, has a bit as a doctor. In a 1949 interview, Mitchum said he had been doing some narration in a studio when a director rushed in from the next stage. "He said an actor didn't show up and would I take his bit part in some movie. I didn't even see the rest of the script. I had no idea what the movie was about, or even the title. I got $55 for an hour and a half's work. I thought the movie was just a 'B' quickie. I don't remember groping that woman" (okay, I made up that last sentence). In the film, Mitchum's character tells us that education is the best way to handle these drug problems. Unfortunately, watching films like this will make you want to overdose.
