Penrod and his gang don't want to let neighborhood "goodie-goodie" Georgie Bassett into their club, but Penrod's father pressures him to allow the boy in because his parents are wealthy and prominent members of the town. Finally the boys agree to let Georgie join, but first they demand that he undergo an "initiation", and they're determined to make it one that Georgie won't soon forget.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director William Beaudine constructs the film around the clash between the carefree, mischievous street gang and the sanitized world of adult-approved childhood. He explores themes of social pressure and youthful rebellion, relying on vibrant character types and dynamic, almost slapstick vignettes that retain their charm.
What lingers after the final reel is a sense of nostalgia for simple joys and innocent mischief, and a recognition that true friendship often flourishes outside established norms. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: William Beaudine
