To impress her, he steals a car with his gang and starts a mass brawl with his rival's football club. The rough-hewn Stanley is pressured by his girlfriend Frannie with the help of a fake pregnancy to marry her, which he ultimately does. The intelligent butchey likes to play the clown. Wimpy is a pure follower with no opinion of its own. However, the closer their high school days are drawing to a close, the boys miss a perspective for the future. Stanley's passion for breeding pigeons helps him make down-to-earth plans for the future with Frannie and family planning.
