The boys stop in a bar to drink a hamburger and observe a troubled youth having some trouble. He runs off and a popular local beat cop follows him to a warehouse where the policeman is fatally injured in an accident. The kid has been hurt as well and, having taken the officer's gun, he forces Tod and Linc to help him hide out and get him medical attention. While holding Linc hostage while Tod goes for some medical supplies, the kid tells Linc how he's been misunderstood all his life and how no one has ever reached out to try to understand him. Linc isn't sympathetic: he recognizes that the kid needs redirection more than sympathy (a bootindeazz!). Meanwhile the local neighborhood teens, who liked the cop, decide to take matters into their own hands. They are led by a self-appointed avenger type who finds his power dissolving at the end when the gang finds out it was an accident and starts to see things from the young man's point of view.
