Mrs. Doray consults a Juvenile Court Judge to understand problem children and how to help them. One case involves 13-year-old Arthur, known as "the worst kid in town," who moves cars away from fire plugs without the owners' knowledge. The judge gives Arthur and his friend Nutty another chance, but they break into Mr. Doray's drugstore to get medicine for Nutty's grandmother. Mr. Doray is unsympathetic and opposes his wife's plan to become Arthur's guardian, and as more incidents occur, he judges quickly before getting all the facts. Mrs. Doray must ultimately choose between her marriage and Arthur.
