Joan MacNamara: [after she sees Harley backhand a boy, grabs Harley's arm] He's just a boy! I'm from the welfare department.
[shows her badge]
Police Lt. William P. Harley: [to the desk sergeant] Book him, book all of 'em.
[he starts to walks away]
Joan MacNamara: Now wait a minute.
[she grabs his arm, turns him towards her]
Joan MacNamara: Some of these young men are- are underage!
Police Lt. William P. Harley: They're not young men, miss, they're hoodlums.
Joan MacNamara: There is a law in this state that says no juvenile can be locked up with an adult criminal.
Police Lt. William P. Harley: I know the law, miss. I've already got a special tank prepared just for them. Does that satisfy you?
Joan MacNamara: [with attitude] No. The whole system is wrong. Those boys should not be locked up at all. You see, what youth needs now days is a little psychological adjustment.
Police Lt. William P. Harley: [interrupts, moves closer] They're three-syllable words, lady. How do you expect a policeman to understand them?
[walks away]
- Créditos adicionales[Prologue] This picture is based on information from official files which revealed the shocking story of the wave of juvenile delinquency which spawned Detroit's Purple Gang. Incredible as it may seem, this youthful rat-pack of terrorists dominated the city's underworld for more than a decade during the prohibition era.
The entire film could be rated an abysmal B rated film, and unless it was filmed over one single weekend than there is no other excuse for the quality of the picture as well as the story line.
I give it an abysmal 4 out of 10 IMDB rating.
