The youth are running wild while the adults are busy fighting the war. There are some youth and they're mildly wild. Mostly they're being led astray. This seems to be a sincere effort to direct kids towards more orderly pursuits. During wartimes, this could backfire in lowering morale for the adults. They have more than enough to worry about without worrying about their kids. The kids won't like it either. As a wartime film, its usefulness is a bit dubious. As a cinematic film, this is strictly in the B-movie realm. The actors are too green. The material is too melodramatic. There is little daring and it feels old. This is a good opportunity to spoof although I don't know if anybody actually did that.
