Military Academy with That Tenth Avenue Gang

Military Academy with That Tenth Avenue Gang is a 1950 American comedy-drama film directed by D. Ross Lederman and starring Stanley Clements, Leon Tyler, Myron Welton and Gene Collins.

Plot

Four streetwise teenage troublemakers continually run afoul of the law. The gang has an audience with Judge Ralph Townsend, himself a former street kid named "Knuckles". The kids have the choice of one year in reform school or a term in a military academy. Ringleader Stash Martin thinks that the stay at the academy will be akin to a vacation that will allow them to "beat the rap by six months". Their superior officer, Major Tony Thomas, was once a streetwise kid from the old neighborhood, and he tries to reform the gang without betraying his past to the commandant. His rival Major Norcross learns about his past and attempts to blackmail him.
