Military Academy with That Tenth Avenue Gang

Judge Ralph Townsend, an alumnus of the Crown Military Academy, offers to fund a new chapel building if his friend, Colonel Jamison, the head of the school, agrees to accept four neighborhood boys as students. The boys, Stash, Danny, Mac and Specs, are due to be sentenced for stealing several cases of beer. Rather than sentence the boys to the reformatory, which he believes will only harden their criminal tendencies, Townsend wants to send them to Crown. The boys are reluctant to go along with his plan because they would have to attend the school for five years, but when they learn that students who do not maintain an average grade of "C" are dropped after six months, they see the requirement as an easy way out and agree to Townsend's plan. Before the boys arrive at the school, Major Tony Thomas and Major Norcross meet with Jamison in his office
