Summary

There's a growing epidemic among the kids at Santa Bella High: marijuana cigarettes. When slang-talking hipster Tony Baker (Russ Tamblyn) transfers to the school, he noses out the action right away, finding a connection in hotshot J.I. Coleridge (John Drew Barrymore). J.I.'s steady girl, Joan (Diane Jergens), is hooked on reefer and down to her last nickel, so Tony offers to help her score by meeting with big-time dealer Mr. A (Jackie Coogan). But are Tony's motives really what they seem?
