"Hey! You're Kinda Clumsy There, Aren't Ya Dad?!"...

In YOUNG AND WILD, three smart Alec hoodlums plague the innocent denizens of Anytown, USA. These maniacal, 30 year old "teens" are up to no good! Mayhem, carnage, and catastrophe ensue.

Look out!

During their escape from their latest illicit act, the gang runs over Mrs. Littleoldlady, leaving her to tumble down the cold, dark, street!

Luckily, Det. Janusz (Gene Evans) is on the case. He's out to bring these thugs to justice.

This movie is a great example of the big "JD" scare of the time, being exploited beautifully! Gloriously melodramatic, it does have its moments of pathos and excitement.

Highly recommended for fans of the sub-genre...
