Boys Town (1938)
De vrome maar wilskrachtige pater Flanagan leidt een gemeenschap genaamd Boys Town, een ander soort jeugdgevangenis waar de jongens, in plaats van te worden behandeld als minderjarige criminelen, worden begeleid om van zichzelf betere mensen te maken. Maar de hardnekkige kruimeldief en zwembadhaai Whitey Marsh, de impulsieve en gewelddadige jongere broer van een gevangengenomen moordenaar, is misschien te veel voor het stoere liefdessysteem van de goede vader.
