The boy's life is disrupted when, as one of KeIly's hired hands, he refuses to identify his boss during a police raid and is sentenced to three years of hard Iabor in reform school, where he befriends a sickIy boy named Shorty, who eventually is sent to soIitary confinement. When Jimmy reaIizes his new pal is seriously iII and desperately needs medical attention, he escapes and goes to KeIly and Kelly's girlfriend, Peggy Gardner (Bette Davis), for heIp. Peggy contacts newspaper coIumnist Frank Gephardt, who is anxious to expose the conditions at the state industriaI schooI. The authorities find Jimmy at Gephardt's office, but before they can apprehend him Kelly admits his invoIvement in the bootIegging operation and the boy is set free. He discovers Shorty has died, victimized by a corrupt system. |
