Bunch Of Ratbags

Terry Cooke, a young man from a rough suburb, learns very early how to take care of himself.  Turning his back on a tough home life he joins a gang and takes over as leader.  The gang becomes infamous and Terry hailed as a hero - much to the chagrin of his parents.  But the hedonistic lifestyle take a toll as he has a nervous breakdown.  Given a chance to reform, he gets involved with 'good girl', Carol. He has one final night out with the boys - it turns nasty as his drunken mates try to gang rape a girl.  Terry comes to her rescue, ditches the gang and leaves with Carol.
