Description

The first part of the film shows youths behaving 'badly' - throwing stones and playing cards for money - until they are spotted by the local policeman. Local parents and young people are seen at a meeting to discuss the youth 'problem'. The film ends with young people participating in a sports day, cycling in the countryside and playing table tennis at the youth club.
