An unruly teenage gang led by Mark Damon gets their kicks by crashing square teen parties around town. At an innocent teen gathering, Damon charms rich spoiled brat Connie Stevens into accompanying him to a motel party and she drags along her decent young date (ex-child star Bobby Driscoll). While there, Damon discovers his alcoholic mother (Doris Dowling), who falls down a flight of stairs while struggling to get away from her son. Along the way, the kids' parents provide the viewer with insight about their children's troubled lives. The final film of both Farmer and Driscoll before they moved to television work.
