Devout but iron-willed Father Flanagan leads a community called Boys Town, a different sort of juvenile detention facility where, instead of being treated as underage criminals, the boys are shepherded into making themselves better people.

Dir. Norman Taurog · With Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Henry Hull
