Crime, sex, and the 100-yard-dash are the ingredients of this tongue-in-cheek drama about kids in trouble. Donna Patterson (Aimee Graham) is in love with Vince (Matt LeBlanc) -- so much so that when he gets in trouble with the law, she willingly takes the rap and ends up in a training school for female juvenile delinquents. While inside, Donna learns that the warden is keen on discovering track and field stars among her inmates, and Donna wins her favor when it's discovered she's a good runner. However, when Donna finds herself attracted to another girl who is a star of the school's track team, her allies of the school's staff quickly become her sworn enemies. Reform School Girl was loosely based on the 1957 teen-exploitation classic of the same name; this version was produced for the Showtime premium cable network as part of their "Rebel Highway" series.
