JAILBAIT STREET

Running wild from darkness till dawn - snatching at love in deserted alleys or lonely rooftops - today's tough juvenile punks have turned our city streets into asphalt jungles of terror and lawlessness.

This is the savagely realistic story of a teen-age gang - the Sultans - and their mixed-up leader, Silkie Meegan, whose desperate search for manhood drove him into frenzied excesses of violence and vice. . .

From the vengeance beating with bicycle chains of a rival gang. . .to the degraded sharing of sweet virginal Carol with the rest of his gang. And finally to the fateful family feud with his own father over Charlotte - his father's prostitute mistress - who first taught Silkie her own kind of Jailbait Street love, then hired him to dig up new "business" for her.
