Teenage Doll

The Black Widows, a teenage girl gang, find one of their number killed; they suspect Barbara (June Kenney), sometime girlfriend of Eddie Rand (John Brinkley), the leader of rival gang the Vandals. As the gangs prepare for a rumble, we glimpse the members' home lives, exaggerating every type of family dysfunction. The leader of the Black Widows is Hel (Helen) (Fay Spain) who decides to offer Rand money to turn Barbara over to them. The gang need to raise money. Squirrel/Eva (Ziva Rodann), takes money from the cash register of her parents' restaurant. Lorrie (Sandra Smith) takes money sent by her father to support her impoverished younger sister. May (Colette Jackson) gets money off her older sister, Janet (Barboura Morris), who is dating her boss. Hel finds her father cheating on her mother. Barbara is the daughter of a policeman but doesn't tell her father what happened. Detective Dunston (Richard Devon) starts an investigation into the girl's death. The Black Widows gather money then go looking for Barbara. She escapes to the Vandals' clubhouse. Rand agrees to help her. The Vandals prepare for battle so the Black Widows call in their male gang, the Tarantulas. The rumble begins, and Barbara surrenders to the police as they arrive. Bett (Barbara Wilson) and Squirrel decide to leave the gang and also surrender to the police.
