Sal Mineo is a teenager in a boy's orphanage trying to figure out what kind of man he wants to be. He fights with an older boy with no character and who will do anything for a buck. A millionaire former resident is presented as a role model, but he's really just a grown bully. Then there is the killer on the chain gang who just wants his freedom. Sal sees a lot of himself in the man, who assumes a kind of fatherly role. When he escapes, he seeks help from Sal and his sailboat. J. Carrol Naish steals every scene he is in as the brutal prison warden Plug.
