In this entry in the MGM "Crime Does Not Pay" series young Frank Davis, dropping out of school and joining a small-time hoodlum gang, finds out that leading a life of crime is not all he thought it would be.

After having been framed by gamblers, Muggs is barred from riding in horse races. Since he can no longer race, he takes up a collection so Ma Brown, who owns the horses, won't have her stable foreclosed on. One of the gamblers involved in the frame, however, falls for Ma Brown's daughter and decides to come clean, confessing to the police about the frame.
