He wants to marry his girlfriend Kitty, but they don't have enough money to live on. Jackie foolishly accepts to be the getaway driver for a robbery job. The robbery goes wrong and Jackie is arrested and sentenced to three years in a borstal institution. The borstal is run by a sympathetic Governor. Initially, Jackie intends to keep his nose clean, do his time and get out. Unfortunately, he falls in with a crowd led by a scheming Welsh boy who are planning to escape. During the escape, Jackie hits a Borstal guard, sending him to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. This could lead to murder charges, if Jackie is captured.
