Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this entry in the long-running series, one of the Kids goes to military school and learns, with the help of his late father's friend who promised to watch over the lad, to be a real man. The kid is initially, quite rebellious. One boy tries to help him, but the kid throws him out a second story window. Eventually the kid grows up and becomes a hero by saving another boy's life during a dangerous fire. This was the final entry in the series.
