Big Town Scandal is a 1948 American crime film directed by William C. Thomas and written by Milton Raison.
The film stars Phillip Reed, Hillary Brooke, Stanley Clements, Darryl Hickman, Carl Switzer and Roland Dupree.
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 reluctantly vouching for the boys.
A business arrangement is struck, where Moreley will stash stolen goods at the rec center while betting on the team's basketball games, which Tommy will deliberately lose.
Tommy recovers in the hospital, while Steve and Lorelei end up getting custody of three more delinquent boys.
