The harsh warden of the reformatory, Morgan Cy Kendall, inflicts discipline at the school and flogs Frankie after he tries to escape. The superintendent of the state reformatories, Mark Braden Humphrey Bogart, visits the school and finds evidence of Morgans subtle cruelty, as in feeding his new inmates poorquality food. He then visits Frankie in the hospital ward, finding him untreated and the doctor inebriated. As a way of starting over, he fires the doctor, Morgan, and four exconvict guards, while retaining the head guard, Cooper Weldon Heyburn. Braden takes charge of the reformatory himself and wins over the boys cooperation by considerate treatment, while romancing Frankies sister, Sue Warren Gale Page.Meanwhile, Cooper is afraid that Braden will learn of Morgans embezzlement of the food budget, which would implicate him as well. He learns that Spike is the one who dealt the blow to the junkman and blackmails him. He gets him to tell Frankie that Bradens generous treatment is due to his sisters acceptance of Bradens attentions. Although untrue, it causes the kids to escape from the school in Coopers car with his gun. They go to Sues apartment, and Frankie climbs the fire escape with the gun to confront Braden, but Sue and Braden dispel Frankies suspicions. ........
