The story

A young Puerto Rican-American named Miguel (played by John Saxon) returns to his home in a poor section of Harlem, determined to leave his life of gang involvement behind. However, his father (played by Joseph Calleia) still sees him as a hoodrat delinquent, which motivates Miguel to prove he can change. As he struggles to resist the temptation of returning to crime and earn his father’s respect, he also tries to win over Sarita (played by Linda Cristal), an undocumented immigrant.
