The story

Sandy, a scrappy and sympathetic waterfront orphan in Manhattan, finds himself unfairly sentenced to reform school after being caught up in trouble not of his own making. While serving his time, he befriends Sailor Fritz, a hardened convict temporarily assigned to the reformatory to teach sailmaking. Despite Fritz’s past as a notorious warehouse bandit and gunman, the two form a genuine bond built on mutual respect and shared feelings of alienation.
