Big Town Scandal.

In his efforts to save five boys from a life of crime, Steve Wilson, Big Town's crime-fighting newspaperman, tangles with fur thieves, juvenile delinquents, and basketball racketeers.

After juvenile boys get caught robbing a sporting goods store, reporter Lorelei Kilbourne pleads for leniency in court and her boss and boyfriend, editor Steve Wilson, ends up vouching for the boys. Tommy Malone goes for a joy ride in the car of a gangster, Joe Moreley, who will stash stolen goods at the rec center while betting on the team's basketball games. Tommy double-crosses the crooks, winning the next game.
