Joe Besser has a small role as a gas station attendant.
Urban youth gangs are creating a new kind of crime wave, and the police are making little progress in solving it. One of the gangs, the Wolf Pack led by Jamie Allison, throws an empty liquor bottle at a young couple and mortally injures their infant son. Capt. Lynn has difficulty finding leads, so the father turns vigilante by taking a new identity and moving into the inner city neighborhood where the gang is suspected to hang out. Now, Lynn not only has to find the guilty youths, but save the father from a destructive path.
One of the gang members is played by Stanley Clements, who shortly after this film, replaced Leo Gorcey in The Bowery Boys film series at Allied Artists.
