[1] This drama features a romance between two different teenagers: a young atheist girl, Judith Craig, and the male head of a Christian youth organization, Bob Hathaway.

The male head breaks into the school to interrupt the atheist club meetings, starting a riot that kills a young girl.

Followed by a goofy boy, Bozo, the three are thrown into a juvenile prison with a cruel head guard and bad living conditions.

The film was inspired by a real-life incident at Hollywood High School, when a student called Queen Silver started an atheist society.

By late 1928, sound films had become extremely popular with the general public, so when a silent version was released in August 1928, it was virtually ignored.
