Based on a novel by Harry Falkenhayn, this conventional, flat story is about an 18-year-old who loiters around carnivals, doing odd jobs and trying to pick up women until one day he has an argument with his uncle at home and leaves. On facing the responsibility of supporting himself completely, the teen soon realizes that a few odd jobs are not going to be enough, and fortunately, he runs into an older woman who helps him out and guides him in the right direction. The result is a decent job in a factory and a little more maturity.
