A play for radio by Leslie Halward
Produced by Hugh Stewart
(The recorded broadcast of September 8. 1959. in the Midland Home Service)
This play poses the dramatic question of how best an ex-convict, who has learned his lesson the hard way, can prevent his son from taking up a life of crime. To the considerable distress of the Marsh family, the young son gets caught up with a gang of hooligans and teddy-boys. Before he is accepted as one of the gang, the boy is set a test in which he has to prove his toughness and nerve, and this test eventually lands him in the magistrates' court.
It is only the father's extreme understanding of his son's wretched situation, through his own prison experience at a similar age, that enables him to straighten out the boy's conflicting and emotional adolescent problems.
