Storyline
World War II veteran Richard Dadier (Glenn Ford) takes a teaching position at a rough New York City school for boys.

Soon, though, he realizes that his class isn't merely rowdy -- they can be downright dangerous. The students, led by the thuggish Artie West (Vic Morrow), threaten their teacher and his family with violence, yet Richard refuses to give up on the troubled teens.
