After Chip is accidentally killed while assaulting a blonde girl, Silver—who has an alibi—is nonetheless labeled the prime suspect. Past run‑ins with the law land her in Girls Town, a convent‑run facility for troubled young women. There, her rebellious streak sparks trouble, while her friend Sarafina teeters on self‑destruction over a crush on a singer. Meanwhile, Chip’s father hires a detective to uncover the truth, and Fred drags Silver’s sister into a dangerous drag race.
