Jerry Mathers, AKA Beaver Cleaver, becomes traumatized when he witnesses mom being beat up by thugs. He goes silent, thwarting the efforts of his policeman dad to find her. A psychiatrist gives him phenobarbital and he finally gives them some clues to follow. Meanwhile, the teenage juvenile delinquents debate whether or not to kill mom. Slightly better than similar JD films of the time, but marred by some poor acting, especially by one John Barrymore, Jr.
