年少輕狂的死黨傑利與洛碁偷竊被逮,一個成功逃脫,另一個被帶進少年感化院,踏上命運的分歧點。兩人多年後重逢,洛碁成為黑幫份子,傑利則為家鄉的教堂奉獻,照顧一群街頭少年。洛碁與黑幫勢力的糾葛越演越烈,打破小鎮安寧,但少年們卻將其視為偶像,仿效他的行為舉止。但人在江湖總是要還,傑利擔憂好友帶來的影響會將少年們引入歧路,心中醞釀著一個難以啟齒的請求。

 

簡稱為海斯法案的「電影製作守則」於 1934 年起嚴格實施,禁止美化罪犯,壞人也必須成為輸家。然而人性並不能簡單二分成好人與惡人,導演在電影結尾使用的畫外音,創造出具雙重意義的障眼法,戲中擊退了無知少年們的憧憬,戲外獲得了觀眾的敬佩,成功以堅定的個人主義回敬該時期虛有其表的社會箝制。

 

The fates of young Rocky and Jerry diverge when Jerry escapes while Rocky is caught and sentenced to reform school after they attempted to rob a railroad car. Years later, Rocky returns from prison to his old neighborhood and visits Jerry, who is now a Catholic Priest. Fearing that Rocky's criminal style will foster negative impacts on the town and people, Jerry risks their friendship in taking the opposite side of his old time pal.
