Rocket engineer Walt Sherill (Alan Ladd) has a car breakdown on a deserted street where he gets attacked by a group of teenagers. They get his address from his wallet, 13 West Street. Detective Sergeant Pete Koleski (Rod Steiger) investigates. Facing police heat, the kids retaliate against Walt and his wife.
The 'kids' are very 50's. I don't know any of them. If only there is a future star amongst them, this would be a must-see. It's an interesting little crime drama. It's a horror movie with teenagers as the boogeyman. Fear the teenagers. That's the message and it's a good one for its time. The kids are going wild and overturning the accepted structure. This is a reactionary movie for its time.
