Set in the slums of Brooklyn, this crime noir drama follows
the exploits of the Amboy Dukes, a teenaged street gang. Foremost
among the Dukes is Frank Cusack (Peter Fernandez), who loses
all opportunity to escape his grim existence when he accidentally
kills his high-school teacher. The film tries to demonstrate
that the so-called "code of the streets"--never rat
on a pal--is possibly more destructive than any brass knuckle
or switchblade. C0-Stars a young Anthony (Tony) Curtis in one
of his early roles
