Boy of the Streets

Teenager Chuck Brennan lives in the worst slums of the big city, making his way as the leader of a local teenage gang who harass the cops and fight other gangs. Chuck falls in love with Nora, who gave up her college scholarship and a future out of the slums to care for her sickly mother. Wanting to please and help Nora, Chuck becomes the new right hand man of gangster Blackie Davis. Soon Chuck becomes addicted to the easy money and notoriety, but loses Nora in the process, who wants nothing to do with a gangster. This drives Chuck to take on even more risky jobs, leading to a final heist that goes horribly wrong.
