The third of four films that show what happens when human beings are brought face to face with a code to which they must conform.
A 16-year-old boy is committed to the care of his local authority. He arrives at a Community Home (formerly called an Approved School), and joins a group of other boys similarly placed.
The film concentrates on what happens in the next eight weeks - as the boy is faced with the problems of adjusting (or not) to his new companions and to the disciplines of his new home.
