The story

In a Midwestern town one Saturday night during the depths of the Great Depression, high school sophomores Eddie Smith and Tommy Gordon get thrown out of a school dance when it is discovered that Tommy, unable to afford his ticket, snuck in. Tommy later reveals to Eddie that his widowed mother has not worked for months, so he is going to drop out of school and look for a job. Eddie offers to speak to his father about finding Tommy a position at the cement factory, only to discover, when he does, that his father has lost his own job there.
