00:01:12All cities have their crime problems.
00:01:15The bigger the city, the greater the problem.
00:01:18Like the tropical jungle which is ever-threatening to encroach on civilization,
00:01:23the inroads of juvenile delinquency are so great and so rapid
00:01:27that it is not enough to check it.
00:01:29It must be conquered.
00:01:31The pace of life in the big city forms an ideal breeding ground
00:01:35for the start of anything that might violate the law.
00:01:38Here is a typical example.
00:01:40These young girls, rounded up by the police the night before,
00:01:44are from tough neighborhoods,
00:01:46born on the wrong side of the street and raised along its sidewalks.
00:01:50These girls learn fast.
00:01:52They know how to fight with their knees, their elbows, their teeth,
00:01:55how to hold a blackjack, how to spot a cop, how to roll a marijuana,
00:01:59and even how to lure a man into a dark hallway.
00:02:03They can't hold down a job to make money,
00:02:06so, with a gun in one hand, they go out to make it.
00:02:10They are girl delinquents of a new type.
00:02:13Their names may be different,
00:02:15but they are under arrest for the same thing,
00:02:18armed robbery.
00:02:21Here, for the first time,
00:02:23is a dramatic picture of the extended nature of this new teenage problem.
00:02:28This is a story of delinquency with a new twist.
00:02:33The story of...
00:02:35Gun Girls.
00:02:51Gun Girls
00:02:56Oh!
00:03:17Looks like you've been mugged.
00:03:19Let's go down to the station and make out a report.
00:03:21No, no, officer. Nothing happened.
00:03:24Guess I had one drink too many.
00:03:30I'm telling you the same thing I just told your friends,
00:03:33Dora Jones and George Jenkins, and their folks.
00:03:36This is the last time I will release you in the custody of your parents.
00:03:40One offense leads to another,
00:03:42and in no time you become involved in a major crime.
00:03:45Continuous disrespect for law and order is a shortcut for a prison term.
00:03:51Girl delinquents are made by their upbringing and surroundings.
00:03:55I admit that family in modern and well-to-do circumstances
00:03:58produce delinquents,
00:04:00just as those families in the lower income brackets do.
00:04:04Some parents have no sense of shame, it is true.
00:04:08And when that is the case,
00:04:10we should take stronger measures
00:04:12in order to make them realize and fulfill their responsibilities.
00:04:15Our girl is a good girl,
00:04:17and we do all we can for her.
00:04:19Unfortunately, she got acquainted with those other girls,
00:04:22the wrong kind of girls.
00:04:24They're the ones that have been leading our daughter into trouble.
00:04:28Please understand that the parole board is working in your interest.
00:04:32Remember, that parole is a privilege, not a right.
00:04:37I assure you, sir, I know it will never happen again.
00:04:40I know our daughter will obey all the rules and regulations of the parole board.
00:04:45I understand.
00:04:47But you must remember, today we live in the jungle.
00:04:49We are judged by the company we keep.
00:04:52The more reason why you should choose this company with the greatest care.
00:04:56Juveniles who become delinquents are, as a rule,
00:04:59the sons and daughters of unconcerned parents
00:05:01who accept children as a matter of course.
00:05:05As these juveniles grow older,
00:05:07they do worse things and think in bigger terms.
00:05:10They are the young people who, sooner or later,
00:05:13will become the thugs of tomorrow.
00:05:16You promised me you'd quit running around with that girl, Teddy.
00:05:20Don't you get tired of telling me that?
00:05:22If I didn't like you, I wouldn't bother.
00:05:25Jimmy, I sometimes wonder if you mean that.
00:05:28Yes, I do.
00:05:30Oh, I don't know, maybe I'm just wasting my time.
00:05:33You're so busy with Teddy, I hardly see you anymore.
00:05:35You're always picking on Teddy.
00:05:37She's my friend.
00:05:39If you'd ask my brother, he'll tell you she always hangs around Teddy.
00:05:42He'll tell you she always hangs around bad company.
00:05:45Just because your brother is a probation officer
00:05:47gives him no right to pick on her.
00:05:50She never fails to visit his office every week,
00:05:52and neither do I, for that matter.
00:05:54I know.
00:05:56I just mentioned it for your own good.
00:05:58Look, she's an older girl.
00:06:00She's already got you in one jam.
00:06:02That's why you have to visit my brother's office every week.
00:06:06I wouldn't be telling you this, except that...
00:06:10I think an awful lot of you.
00:06:12I know you mean well, Jimmy, and maybe your brother's right.
00:06:17But it's going to take a little time.
00:06:19I'll try.
00:06:22Can I count up that as a promise?
00:06:24Oh, I do like you, Jimmy.
00:06:26Just give me half a chance.
00:06:34What do you say we figure out how much loot we've got so far?
00:06:37For one thing, we have this wristwatch.
00:06:40Remember the sucker we conked in the alley that night?
00:06:43I'll never forget it.
00:06:45You know, I was sure scared.
00:06:47It was the first time I ever lured a man in an alley.
00:06:50I'm hip, but there's a first time for everything, honey.
00:06:55Not bad.
00:06:56Should bring us a few dollars.
00:07:03Now, with what we have here,
00:07:05plus what we picked up last week,
00:07:07we can go by the two rods.
00:07:09You mean the two guns you were talking about?
00:07:11Yeah.
00:07:12Oh, I almost forgot.
00:07:16Here's some more loot.
00:07:17Where'd you get it?
00:07:18Oh, earlier in the afternoon.
00:07:20I had a drink with some jerk in a booth.
00:07:23The rat wanted a cheap thrill.
00:07:26Honestly, the characters one meets nowadays.
00:07:35Oh!
00:07:41How am I doing?
00:07:43For a beginner, you certainly do all right.
00:07:46Won't be long before you equal the best of them.
00:07:49But what if these things come out in the papers?
00:07:52Things like this happen a dozen times a night.
00:07:55They don't even rate the ink, so why worry?
00:07:58But if we're not careful, we're bound to get caught.
00:08:02Those jerks will never complain.
00:08:04Panicky, wives and all that bit.
00:08:07Teddy, sometimes I'm...
00:08:09I'm afraid of all of this.
00:08:13Why?
00:08:15Well, I only started in it as a lark,
00:08:17and now it looks as if it's getting out of hand.
00:08:20You're just feeling blue, that's all.
00:08:23Troubles at home again?
00:08:25Boy, you said it.
00:08:28I'm sure fed up with home.
00:08:31Especially since my old lady married
00:08:33that good-for-nothing Buzz Brown.
00:08:38Boy, is he a lush.
00:08:40I didn't know that.
00:08:42Well, you do now.
00:08:44That old man of mine, you know,
00:08:46if anyone should ask me about him,
00:08:48I'd say he's got as much appeal as a stocked-up sink.
00:08:52Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:08:55What do you say we go home and get some rest?
00:08:58Tomorrow we'll get up early and go see Joe about the rods.
00:09:01Oh, I guess you're right.
00:09:03Come on, let's change clothes and get out of here.
00:09:28Come on, let's go.
00:09:30Teddy?
00:10:00Teddy, do you know how to handle a gun?
00:10:03I sure do.
00:10:05A kid in our neighborhood taught me.
00:10:07What a drag.
00:10:09He's doing time at Warwick now.
00:10:11Well, I hope we don't get into trouble buying those guns.
00:10:14Just the opposite.
00:10:16With a gun, you can always fight your way out of trouble.
00:10:20I understand it now.
00:10:22Why, with a gun, you're somebody.
00:10:25You're getting sharp, kid.
00:10:27Come on, let's go.
00:10:30Come on.
00:10:55Who is it?
00:10:56It's Teddy.
00:10:59Just a minute.
00:11:04Big deal, we have to wait for him.
00:11:15I didn't know you had company.
00:11:18Fancy meeting you here.
00:11:20What's with your job at the warehouse?
00:11:22Well, I wasn't feeling so good, so I thought I'd take the morning off.
00:11:25I suppose you're writing out the excuses?
00:11:28A man can do wonders.
00:11:30Oh, come on, girls, let's knock it off.
00:11:32Well, I'm leaving.
00:11:34Bye-bye, everybody.
00:11:36Don't forget to give Joe's regards to your boss.
00:11:42You girls wanted to see me about something.
00:11:44We came to buy the guns you offered.
00:11:46I offered nothing.
00:11:48We only talked about guns.
00:11:50All right, quit complaining.
00:11:52We've got the money.
00:11:54You don't say.
00:11:57Take a good look.
00:12:00Go ahead and feel it.
00:12:02It's real green stuff.
00:12:04Sure it's not stolen money.
00:12:06Look who's asking.
00:12:08No hard feelings.
00:12:10Why worry, Joe?
00:12:12The guns in turn will get us more of the same kind of money.
00:12:15So what?
00:12:16That's to assure that I want to sell the guns.
00:12:19Man, you expect us to believe that?
00:12:22The only reason I'm selling them is because I need the money.
00:12:25You need money like I need a hole in my head.
00:12:28All you have to do is sell some of this stuff you keep stashed around here.
00:12:32It's not that easy.
00:12:35If I sell the stuff too fast and too often,
00:12:38my clients will want to pay me less each time they see me.
00:12:42Clients?
00:12:44How do you like this guy?
00:12:46What clients can afford him?
00:12:48Clients?
00:12:49How do you like this guy?
00:12:51What clients can a fence have?
00:12:53You're a peddler of stolen goods.
00:12:55Not so loud.
00:12:57Look, I'm a legitimate businessman.
00:12:59Well, maybe not so legitimate,
00:13:02but I'm a businessman like anyone else.
00:13:04My clients don't ask me where I get the stuff.
00:13:06I don't ask you girls where you get this stuff.
00:13:08So what matters?
00:13:09Everybody's happy.
00:13:11Well, you better get set to handle a lot more stuff.
00:13:14Once we start putting these guns to use,
00:13:16we should double our business.
00:13:18Just not so fast.
00:13:20Don't get me into any trouble.
00:13:22You know, guns are a dangerous thing to have,
00:13:24especially if you don't know how to handle them.
00:13:26Now look, this gun opens from the top.
00:13:29You load five shots in there.
00:13:31It's ready to go.
00:13:33This is a different type.
00:13:35This loads from the bottom.
00:13:37Pull the clip out.
00:13:38Put your bullets in there.
00:13:39I know how to handle a gun.
00:13:41All right, just watch this, though,
00:13:43so you'll know for sure.
00:13:44Put it in there.
00:13:45You've got to pull this back
00:13:47before you can fire the first shot.
00:13:49You don't on this, but on this you have to pull it back.
00:13:51Understand?
00:13:52I'm very familiar with them.
00:13:55Come on, Dora.
00:13:56Let's conceal these weapons.
00:13:58Okay.
00:14:11It's just a matter of getting used to this trick.
00:14:16I'm with you in a minute, Joe.
00:14:18Take your time.
00:14:19Take your time.
00:14:21I dare any cop to reach for this gun.
00:14:24Go ahead.
00:14:46Teddy.
00:14:48Come over here.
00:14:52It's time for you girls to leave.
00:14:54Whatever you do,
00:14:56make sure those guns don't fall into the wrong hands.
00:14:59Don't worry about it, Joe.
00:15:01We'll see to that.
00:15:02And don't forget,
00:15:03you don't know what you're doing.
00:15:05You don't know what you're doing.
00:15:07You don't know what you're doing.
00:15:09You don't know what you're doing.
00:15:11You don't know what you're doing.
00:15:13Don't worry about that.
00:15:14And don't forget,
00:15:15you didn't get the guns from me.
00:15:17You too, remember that.
00:15:19I get you.
00:15:20Okay.
00:15:27On your way.
00:15:32I forgot my purse.
00:15:33Oh, hurry up.
00:15:41Back so soon?
00:15:42I forgot my purse.
00:15:51Thanks, Joe.
00:16:13Joe?

00:18:59rid of it but I gave it away hold on Joe we've got some other trinkets more.

00:19:16Say. This stuff looks mighty hot to handle that's your business

00:19:28thought you were somebody not a beginner. Where do you think I keep the money to
00:19:34buy all this junk.
00:19:35In the trunk. Right handy.
00:19:43You're a smart girl you don't miss a trick.
00:19:49Since you girls are so active and willing I think maybe I got just the deal for
00:19:54you let's hear about it the warehouse where joy works yeah go on.
00:20:01Saturday is their payday. They pick the money up from the bank Friday hold it
00:20:06overnight in the safe. Soft touch for you gals ought to be about. Six grand there
00:20:15we'll split it fifty fifty. How are we going to pull a big job like that be a
00:20:21cinch we already got joy in the inside you might say the job of getting into the
00:20:26We already got joy in the inside you might say the job of getting into the place is
00:20:30half done you think of everything don't you brains that's my department we never
00:20:39thought of that.
00:20:44Here's our chance to double cross Joe he's
00:20:47a rat anyway never really pays what's coming to us while he'd be surprised that
00:20:52the load amongst us checks and leave him hanging. I wonder what's keeping joy she
00:20:59should have been here by now something tells me she's with big brains at the
00:21:03moment that's easy to find out.
00:21:22Hello. Hello Joe just wanted to know if joy was there. No. Matter of fact I haven't
00:21:38seen her all day. Man you're really too much but she was supposed to come over to
00:21:43my place. I guess you must be busy working at the warehouse. And I guess only a fool
00:21:51like me couldn't figure that one out. Sorry. I can't stay another minute. I promise
00:22:01to see Teddy and I'm late already. What do you care. I keep my word. OK. One more kiss
00:22:08before you go.
00:22:14You can't tell me she's not with Joe he's as big a liar as he is a crook. Oh I hope
00:22:20she doesn't take too long. I'm getting tired of waiting. Hey maybe she's backing
00:22:25out. She won't back out knowing that this job is for money. Leave it to me. I'll do
00:22:32the talking. Listen chump I don't manufacture any merchandise. What I get is what
00:22:40you buy. You guys are all the same. You only run a cut rate variety store because
00:22:47you can buy your merchandise from guys like me. Sure sure sure I know you don't run
00:22:54a drug store. Can I help it if my source included a batch of vitamin pills and cough
00:22:59medicine with our last delivery. Look look all you have to do is add another bargain
00:23:06counter. Call it a drug department. That's what Hank did last week in the town next to
00:23:10you. I ought to know he buys from me. Sure you'll do all right. OK. That's telling
00:23:22them boss. No brains just small potatoes. Yeah I know they ought to get peeled and
00:23:28boiled. Oh you're sharp today. By the way what's on your mind. Listen boss. You got
00:23:37to watch out. Those girls are kind of young. They can only mean trouble. Nothing to
00:23:42worry. It's an awful funny setup they got in that room and house. Why some of the
00:23:49girls don't even sleep there. And the rumors could get suspicious. And besides some
00:23:56respectable people live there when they move in. That's all right boss. You're just
00:24:02taking advantage of my age. It's because I'm trying to make an honest dollar. Oh I've
00:24:07heard that same story 20 times already. There. Is a fin that ought to make you forget
00:24:17your troubles troubles. That's what's driving me to drink. Mighty good drink come in
00:24:24handy at a time like this. Oh Luke you never change. But I like you.
00:24:32Thanks boss. You wouldn't have a drink candy now and I could say this for a rainy day what
00:24:39rainy day. Who are you kidding. OK.
00:24:44So by the way tomorrow morning on it tomorrow morning I want you to deliver 36 cases of
00:25:02beer to Sam's Tavern beer. You mean these girls are hijacking beer now. Some sucker made
00:25:11the mistake of leaving the keys in his truck while he was making a delivery. No telling
00:25:15what they'll bring in next. Yes I suppose they'd be stealing a corpse from the morgue
00:25:19any day now. There's no stopping them. Don't look good boss. Look will you quit your
00:25:25complaining. You're my right hand man aren't you. You're getting well paid for it too.
00:25:30Don't spread it too big boss. I don't feel so good. Let me pick that drink up for you.
00:25:35You'll feel a little better.
00:25:43That ought to do it.
00:25:51Now this is better boss. I can't get over since I could. What gives. We want to talk to
00:26:00you about the warehouse for your work. You know what about it. We figured tomorrow night's
00:26:04as good a night as any break into the place. So soon. Tomorrow's Friday. Why not. Now we
00:26:12have guns to protect us if anything goes wrong. Yeah and if we get caught I'll be to blame
00:26:16because I work there. You won't even go in. All you have to do is unlatch some back window
00:26:22while at work. Of course you'll have to go along and show us the right window. Is that
00:26:27all I have to do. Sounds easy enough. One more thing. We need the combination of the
00:26:33office safe. That should be easy for you. No doubt you must be the boss's pet. I thought
00:26:41there must be a catch to this deal. Besides you're forgetting the main gate. Oh no. You
00:26:48can take care of that too. You can leave late and that'll give you a chance to see that
00:26:52the back gate is left unlatched. Well I don't know if I can do all that. Oh yes you can.
00:26:59Because if you don't your mother will be surprised to learn a lot of little things about her daughter.
00:27:05Especially that little matter of going around with Joe. Look I know I'm being blackmailed into
00:27:10this but please leave my mother out of it. You forget you once promised us we could count on you.
00:27:16Well I won't back out but honestly I don't know if I can make it. I've been feeling kind of sick
00:27:22the last three or four days. Well hanging around Joe so much is bound to get you in trouble.
00:27:29I'm in love with Joe. Joe's in love with me. How nice. Does your mother know? When the time comes
00:27:36he'll talk to her. I would say the time was right now. I don't know how he sidetracked into this
00:27:44argument. I'm sorry Joy. Forget I said it. Well I've got to be leaving. I'll do my best. Let's
00:27:53see the window, the gate, the safe. You're a good girl Joy. Don't forget where it loves. Okay.
00:28:11Got a cigarette on you? Just smoked my last one.
00:28:24She didn't look too happy. Don't worry about her. We can have her doing anything by threatening
00:28:29to tell her mother about Joe. It's a cinch. What we've got on her? You know it honey.
00:28:38You know it honey.
00:28:44Hello. Yeah.
00:28:49Oh yes I've got it. Tonight outside of Kelly's bar. Sure I'll be there. Bye.
00:29:01Another pigeon. Let's hope a couple more call up.
00:29:07You know Ed Finnegan down on the south side? You mean that Finnegan who runs the Shamrock Cafe?
00:29:21Right. I sure do. He's a pretty good rock cutter you know. I want you to take these
00:29:26stones down to him and have him cut them.
00:29:37Say that ought to bring a pretty penny boss. It's nice merchandise. Girls brought it in the other day.
00:29:42Now look. This Finnegan's a chiseler say.
00:29:49Here's 250 bucks. I don't want to pay a penny more. Leave it to me boss. And Luke.
00:29:56I want him back tomorrow night. I got a guy that's leaving town tomorrow night.
00:30:00He'll take them off my hands. You'll have them. Okay on your way.
00:30:08Well isn't this cute. What do you want? Just sit still lover boy or I'll blow your head right off
00:30:15your shoulders. Grab his watch and wallet Dora. I'll never get away with this. I'll have you both
00:30:20in jail within the hour. I don't think so lover boy. Because how would you be able to explain to
00:30:25your wife what you were doing in lover's lane with little Dora. I'll take the car keys too.
00:30:31So he can walk back to town and cool off. You'll never get away with this.
00:30:35Look Charlie. Just sit still if you know what's good for you.
00:30:44I'm very pleased to see that you're keeping up with your weekly visits to this office.
00:30:49I also know that no complaints have come to this office against your daughter.
00:30:52If she keeps away from bad company she will do all right. I can assure you sir. We are watching
00:30:58our daughter with an eagle eye. There won't be any trouble around our house for a long while.
00:31:05I'm quite pleased to hear that. But at the same time I am ashamed to admit that families like you
00:31:11in convenient circumstances are unaware of the problems young girls face today. Particularly
00:31:17young girls in larger cities where pressure of modern life bears down so relentlessly on them.
00:31:23Human beings become criminals in their youth. Why more persons are arrested for crime at the
00:31:28age of 21 than at any other age. The overwhelming majority of first offenders are in their teens.
00:31:37Let me state here that it is highly important for parents today to consider that a firm foot now
00:31:45is much better than a firm foot too late. Would you say that parents are solely to blame if they
00:31:49have the misfortune that one of their youngsters has fallen into trouble with the law?
00:31:54Let me put it this way. It is a growing problem and there can be no mistake as to whom it concerns.
00:32:01It concerns us all. There are frightening stories behind today's headlines. Stories of the young
00:32:08teenagers who get themselves gradually enmeshed by the crime and violence around them.
00:32:14I only ask that you build up enough courage to look frankly at yourselves in this particular case
00:32:24and develop a willingness to battle for your daughter's future
00:32:27if you expect her to be the respectable citizen of tomorrow. It is important to bear in mind
00:32:35that even girls in whom the good far outweighs the bad can, owing to unfortunate circumstances,
00:32:41find themselves descending a steep and rapid path towards a life crime and violence.
00:32:48Only an aroused public fully aware of this matter
00:32:52is the most important single factor in combating juvenile delinquency.
00:32:59Jimmy, I just can't go to the dance with you Friday night. Well, why not? All the kids will
00:33:04be there. I know, but I just can't go. I've got something important I have to do.
00:33:10Like running around with Teddy and her friends? You leave Teddy out of this.
00:33:15Oh, Jimmy, Teddy's not a bad kid. She can always get a grip on herself if she has to.
00:33:21Well, I sort of counted on you for the dance. Oh, I know you did, but Jimmy, I just can't go this time.
00:33:31I like you a lot, Dora. I still don't know whether to believe you or not.
00:33:37Well, I've always liked you, Dora, but you're never around anymore.
00:33:41Even your stepdad says you're hardly home. Oh, quit your kidding. My stepdad hasn't been
00:33:46home for a week. Oh, Jimmy, let's not quarrel like this anymore.
00:34:37Hey, come on. That's the window.
00:36:07Okay, Dora, hit that switch.
00:36:28I would have sworn that light was brighter a second ago. Turn it off.
00:37:37So
00:37:58a girl, eh? How did you get in here?
00:38:02I see you got the safe open. Come on, what's up?
00:38:10Okay, since you won't talk, I'll be calling the police.
00:38:31So
00:38:47I told you never to leave that gun out of your hands. It's too late now, stupid. I couldn't go.
00:39:01So
00:39:11so
00:39:26Chuck, there's been a burglary. Check all the gates and turn on the alarm.
00:39:32Come on.
00:40:02So
00:40:32so
00:40:54Do you mean to tell me we went to all that trouble for a measly 14 bucks? You should talk.
00:40:59All you did was stand outside and take in the nice cool air. How do you like that? If it hadn't
00:41:04been for me, you couldn't even have gotten inside. A lot of good that did us. I also got you the
00:41:09combination to the safe. You said that's where they kept the payroll. Well, look at it. Shut up
00:41:14for a minute, will you? The watchman caught us, not you. Why didn't you tell us it was a flatfoot
00:41:21watching the joint? How should I know? If it hadn't been for you, we'd never have broken into
00:41:26the place. That's right. Go on, blame me. It was your brainstorm. Ain't you girls through talking
00:41:33at this hour of the night? Sorry, Mrs. Murphy. And when you're weeks up, I want you trance out of
00:41:39here. Do you hear me? Yes, Mrs. Murphy. Fine. How do you do? No money. And you have to leave your
00:41:48gun there and your fingerprints all over this safe. You're just like a pal to remind me. How
00:41:55about yours? They must be all over the window. Me? I was wearing gloves.
00:42:04That's right. I clued her earlier. It's a wonder you remembered.
00:42:09I wonder what Joe would think if he knew about this. He'd probably laugh right in our faces.
00:42:15Would you like a little drink, honey? Sure.
00:42:20Okay.
00:42:40Easy boy.
00:42:42Say, I picked up a little trinket that I thought you might like. For me? Nothing but the best for you, honey.
00:42:57By the way, I'm going to arrange for Luke to get you another apartment this afternoon. Oh, how sweet you are.
00:43:05Oh, how sweet you are.
00:43:10I may have made a mess of my forgetting the gun, but what do you say about the car?
00:43:14They'll trace it. I'll call the boys in the morning. You know, they were awfully brave to
00:43:19loan you that car. One favor cancels another. I wouldn't be too sure. Well, I'm leaving. I'm going
00:43:27home right now. If I were you, I'd beat it out of town. That's what we're going to do. On 14 bucks,
00:43:38goodbye.
00:43:50Do you think she's going to cause us any trouble? No, she won't. She's in it as deep as we are.
00:43:55But what are we going to do? We'll get money from Joe and get as far out of town as we can.
00:44:01How do you think he'll lend it to us? We'll find out in the morning.
00:44:09No, please. No, honestly, I'm not that kind of a girl. You must think I'm a cheap floozy,
00:44:22but I'm not. Not really.
00:44:36Ouch!
00:44:51I told you to not let either of those guns out of your hands. They're hot.
00:45:09All right, so we made a mistake. I knew you gals would get me in trouble.
00:45:13I'm going to leave town, but wait till that Joy stops around. I'll tell her a thing.
00:45:19What about us, Joe? You gals can make it to any town,
00:45:23if you're not too particular how you do it. We only wanted to borrow the money.
00:45:28Money? I haven't got any money. Now, come on, clear out of here. Both of you, get out. Come on.
00:45:33Stand right where you are, Joe. Listen, this is going too far.
00:45:42All right, Dora, go to the trunk and see what he's got in there in the way of money.
00:45:49Who is it? It's me, Luke. You busy, boss?
00:45:57Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you later.
00:46:12I'm sorry it had to be this way, Joe. You're just a couple of common thieves.
00:46:17Don't worry about it. Helping us will bring you good luck.
00:46:21I hope the cops pick you up before you spend a penny of my money.
00:46:25They'll have to catch us first.
00:46:46Who is it? It's me, Joy.
00:47:02Come in. Well, I heard all about last night. Big deal.
00:47:09Teddy was here already? Yeah, and you better get out of here fast.
00:47:12I don't want the cops following you into my joint.
00:47:15I know it, Joe. I'm in an awful mess. You know, Teddy and Dora forced me into this thing.
00:47:24You were willing. They said they'd tell my mother about my
00:47:27hanging around your place so much. What of it?
00:47:31Joe, I want to talk to you about something serious.
00:47:37If it's money you want to get out of town, you're too late.
00:47:41Teddy and Dora got it all with a gun. No, it's something else.
00:47:47Maybe I shouldn't bring it up, but I just can't help it, Joe.
00:47:52What is it? Well, Joe, I'll have to speak to my mother.
00:48:00I don't get it. What do you mean? Joe, I feel sick.
00:48:05Sick? You do?
00:48:10Joe, do you still love me? Of course I do.
00:48:15Well, will it be all right if I tell my mother about us?
00:48:21You better make yourself clear, Joy. Joe, don't you know what I'm talking about?
00:48:26Joe, you've got to tell my mother that you'll marry me.
00:48:29You wouldn't be getting any screwy ideas, would you?
00:48:31You don't care a thing about me, do you? Look, I thought we had an understanding.
00:48:40I was in the mood, and you were willing. Well, maybe we could work out something
00:48:46so I won't look like just a tramp. It was just a mistake, a mistake any girl could make.
00:48:53Are you trying to make trouble? I mean, I made trouble for myself.
00:48:57I knew better. I knew better. I just couldn't help myself.
00:49:03I think you've got rocks in your head trying to sell me a screwy sales talk like that.
00:49:08Joe, you were the only one. There wasn't anybody else.
00:49:13You're going to have a tough time proving it. Joe, it was only you. Joe, please.
00:49:18Look, you've been alone with other guys. If you weren't having fun, what were you doing?
00:49:23Joe.
00:49:31Here, go get a druggist to give you something for it.
00:49:39Boy, you're rotten through and through. Just plain no good.
00:49:48Come on, get out of here.
00:50:53The two boys, friends of Teddy and Dora, wouldn't talk at first. But a uniform officer of the law
00:51:06looks mighty impressive to a teenager, especially if he's guilty. The boys admit that they loaned
00:51:13their car to the two girls the night before. This leads to their being brought in for further
00:51:18questioning.
00:51:48Trixie? Joe? Yeah. Hey, honey, why don't you come on over?
00:52:00You know there are no other women in my life but you.
00:52:05Okay, I'll be waiting.
00:52:09Okay, goodbye.
00:52:19Hi, kids. Hi.
00:52:34You mind if I change my clothes? No, go ahead.
00:52:37Leaving so soon? You don't think we're gonna stay here, do you? By now, every cop in town knows who we are and they're looking for us.
00:52:53Joe just told me that you kids held him up with a gun. I suppose you tried to get money from him, too.
00:52:59No, I don't want any of his money. I don't need it, I'm not afraid. If you stick around, they'll soon
00:53:06catch up with you. Then where will you be? She's not leaving town. Joe's going to marry her.
00:53:14Isn't that what you told us? That's between Joe and me. We didn't know it was that serious.
00:53:21Say, um, I don't suppose I could borrow your gun for an hour or so.
00:53:27You mean you're ready for another job that quick? Maybe. Can't you see we're leaving?
00:53:33Look, I don't have any money, but maybe I could trade you for the gun. Trade? Why, we need all the money we can get.
00:53:41I'd like to loan you the gun, but there isn't enough time. Well, maybe I could trade you for my coat.
00:53:51It's a pretty good coat and maybe you could sell it on the way. I don't know. Look, you don't want a
00:54:00cop to find it on you. Maybe she has an idea there.
00:54:03You know, anything Joe sells is hot or he wouldn't part with it. Okay, let me have the coat.
00:54:19Remember, if a cop finds it on you, it's yours. Don't worry.
00:54:30Fine. Good luck.
00:54:50Honey, I gotta run down to the liquor store. I'll be right back.
00:54:57Don't be too long, honey.
00:55:29I'll be right back.
00:55:59What are you doing here? Waiting for Joe. So am I. Well, wait down the hall. I came here first.
00:56:26Are you talking to me? Yes, you.
00:56:31Why, you lowdown tramp.
00:56:56All right, now you get out of here and get out fast before I pull the trigger.
00:57:56What are you doing here? Waiting for you. Where's Trixie? Trixie, is that a name?
00:58:13She ran out on you, Joe.
00:58:17Look, what do you want anyway? I thought we'd settled matters. Oh, no, Joe. We're just beginning.
00:58:26That's Harry. I've got a feeling the cops are already looking for us, Teddy.
00:58:37If they are, they're 5,000 miles in the wrong direction.
00:58:49You can laugh because I'm just another cheap kid who looked kind of good to you.
00:58:58You couldn't pass up anything that was easy to get. You're just upset yourself, honey. Don't honey me.
00:59:06A last-minute bulletin just received. Advice is that the two girls who boldly burglarized
00:59:11a central chemical company's warehouse last night and slugged the watchman have been identified.
00:59:16Their arrest is expected at any moment. Come on, let's get out of here.
01:00:16So
01:00:33no wonder you're so anxious to get rid of me now that you've picked up that new girl.
01:00:38Let's not be ridiculous. Things like her wash up on a beach every night. I get it now. I suppose I
01:00:45was washed up on the beach too. Where'd you get that gun? The familiar? Yeah. I got it from Teddy
01:00:57just now. Take a good look at it, Joe. Look, maybe we can talk matters over. No, Joe. You're not fooling
01:01:08me one bit. Take a good look at the gun. Without this gun, you'd be up to your same old lies.
01:01:18Well, it's too late, Joe. I'm going to kill you. Yeah, you'll never get away with it.
01:01:38Hello, operator. I want the police.
01:01:49Joe, Joe, are you all right? Hello, police. I just killed a man.
01:01:57I'll be waiting when you get here. I'm at the Thornton Towers. Joe, it's me, Luke.
01:02:09You folks wait here. I'll go and get a crowbar. I'll get one. Come here.
01:02:29All right, step back inside the wall, please. Come on.
01:02:39You going someplace? Yeah. No, you're not.
01:02:47Dora? Dora, it's me, Jimmy. Jimmy, I was hoping you'd get here in time.
01:02:55Please don't talk like that. You can be all right in no time. You just got to be.
01:03:08Dora, I... Please, Jimmy. There's something I've got to say, and I know I haven't much time.
01:03:25You warned me about Teddy and the gang, and I didn't listen. The truth is I didn't want to.
01:03:33Jimmy, you were so right, and your brother, too. He's trying to help kids like me,
01:03:42and he's doing his best, but he can't do it alone.
01:03:51I don't quite understand. That's the trouble. People just don't understand
01:03:59things the girls and I did. It wasn't for the money.
01:04:09Look at Teddy's folks. They've got all the money in the world.
01:04:18What was it for? The thrill? You tell yourself it is, and you believe it,
01:04:27but, oh, Jimmy, it really isn't. It's so hard to explain.
01:04:35It's sort of getting back at the world for so many things.
01:04:42Jimmy, when I was a little girl, my parents didn't want me. They didn't care.
01:04:50I guess I started life from the wrong foot, from the moment I was born.
01:05:03I was like so many others. I was an unwanted child, and I didn't belong.
01:05:12And I didn't belong. Jimmy, when you're in a gang, you're somebody. You belong.
01:05:22Oh, that's all I wanted out of life, was the feeling of belonging.
01:05:29Was it too much to ask for, just to belong?
01:05:34Dora? Dora?
01:05:46Oh, my, come on.
01:05:57The girls continue to come, with no end in view. For many of them, it's no longer their
01:06:04first offense. This police lineup is a grim reminder to parents that one of these girls
01:06:15could be your own daughter.
01:06:34you
