Slum kids are sent to reform school, where life is hell under the warden who runs it like a POW camp. Gangster Cagney gets a political appointment and takes a personal interest in the kids during a visit. He fires the warden, falls in love with the nurse and instigates self-rule for the reformatory. This works fine until Cagney gets involved with the old gang and shoots someone. The warden returns and things are worse than ever. Only this time the kids, having learned from their self-governing days, quickly take control and pass their own form of judgment.
