Plot summary
It is 1958 in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, where high school friends Chico Tyrell, Stanley Rosiello, Butchey Weinstein and Wimpy Murgalo run together as the Lords. They ride motorcycles, wear leather jackets and slicked back hair, shoot pool, steal cars, brawl in the street, chase girls and pass time at a local malt shop. Stanley's girlfriend Frannie Malincanico wants to marry him, a prospect the two of them weigh through teenage eyes. Chico keeps company with Annie Yuckamanelli, a friend of Frannie's, until Jane Bradshaw arrives as a new student at their school. Chico, with help from the others, sets out to impress her. Butchey hides his intelligence behind a clownish front, and Wimpy follows Stanley in awe.
