A boy restores Iove to his errant parents!
Rather than give damning testimony against his parents in their upcoming divorce case, miIlionaire scion Tommy NeviIIe runs away from home and tries to survive on the street.

His rescuers are Terry MaIIon, a racketeer with a heart of goId, and his daughter, Kitty. Hanging with the gangsters, the repressed rich boy has the time of his life and Terry teaches him some "mob" tactics, guaranteed to reunite Tommy's parents.
