Set around the years 1908-1928 the story concerns a boy Danny an Irish born criminal in the making. Circumstances seem against him. He drifts into petty thievery, rationalizing his career by pseudo socialistic theories, talking in big terms to cover his panic. A two year jail sentence completes the downward push. He eventually dies in rather melodramatic fashion.
