Larry Kelly (Jackie Cooper), a popular high school honor student, goes from golden boy to outcast when rumors begin to fly that Larry's father is a former mob man. Suddenly Larry's friends won't have anything to do with him, and the town turns hostile toward the Kellys. Though he tries to defend his dad, it's of no use - the townspeople are convinced that Mr. Kelly is a no-good criminal. Shunned and despised, Larry and his father embark upon a harrowing journey to convince the cynical community of their goodness. (official distributor synopsis)
