Die jungen Wilden

In the slums of Harlem, a young, blind Puerto Rican is stabbed to death in cold blood by three teenagers. Hank Bell (Burt Lancaster), a prosecutor who grew up in the neighborhood as an Italian himself, charges him with murder. The alleged perpetrator is quickly arrested, but the idealistic Bell, according to his own investigations in the ranks of the gangs, sees the crime in a different light. In the course of the trial, he has to realize that the guilt cannot be attributed solely to the perpetrators.
