Plot summary
Patch, a young runaway boy, stumbles his way into Coney Island, where he is met by the Cherries, an all-girl gang, who wants to mug him. As he tries to fight back, the leader of the gang cuts out his eye, and he is left unconscious. The next day he gets up and starts walking, but faints. He awakes in the apartment of a young man who has sewn him up and helped him. Patch then goes to pickpocket, but is nearly caught by the police, when he is saved by the Pirates, a Coney Island gang who boards cars and sells them.
