Military Academy with That Tenth Avenue Gang

Military Academy with That Tenth Avenue Gang is a 1950 American comedy-drama film directed by D. Ross Lederman,[1] and starring Stanley Clements, Leon Tyler, Myron Welton, and Gene Collins.

The gang has an audience with Judge Ralph Townsend, himself a former street kid named "Knuckles" (John Hamilton).

Ringleader Stash Martin thinks "that's a vacation" -- they can simply goldbrick, flunk out, hit the street again, and “beat the rap by six months.” Their superior officer, Major Tony Thomas (James Millican), was once a streetwise kid from the old neighborhood, and he tries to straighten out the gang without betraying his past to the commandant.

The kids incite trouble wherever they go: in the dormitory, in the boxing ring, at the pool table, with the cavalry installation, and with the academy's riding mower.

Leading player Leon Tyler told author Scott MacGillivray that the film was supposed to be the first of a new series, which was called off after the one installment.
