The Mayor of Hell Page #3

Synopsis: Five members of a teen-age gang, including leader Jimmy Smith, are sent to the State Reformatory, presided over by the melodramatically callous Thompson. Soon, Patsy Gargan, a former gangster appointed Deputy Commissioner as a political favor, arrives complete with hip flask and blonde. Gargan falls for activist nurse Dorothy and, inspired by her, takes over the administration to run the place on radical principles. But Thompson, to conceal his years of graft, needs a quick way to discredit Gargan...

you'll get on all right.

Do as you're told

and don't ask any questions.

Before you sleep one night here...

...make up your minds that you're gonna

work hard and keep your mouths shut.

Now, anybody that doesn't like

the idea...

...can apply for a transfer

to the penitentiary right now.

What's your name, boy?

Jimmy Smith.

We say "sir" here.

Understand?

Yeah.

Drop that tone, boy.

You're in a reform school now.

- Take them outside.

Well, come on.

Get moving.

Hurry up, there.

All right.

- Stand over there.

Open your mouth.

Come on. Open your mouth.

Do as you're told. Open your mouth.

That's all right.

Now, this won't take a minute,

and really, it won't hurt at all.

Come on, open it.

- All right.

Stand over there.

What's the matter? Have you got a cold?

- Well, do you always cough like that?

- Sure.

Sit over there, will you?

Over here.

Come on.

Double quick.

Pick any bed.

Hang your clothes over the bottom rail.

Come on, hurry it up. Get over there.

Excuse me, sir.

But don't we get nothing to eat?

I'm awful hungry.

Why, sure.

There's a French girl brings

your supper up to you.

Just tell her what you want.

Such a place.

And I thought I was going

to the country.

- Why don't you guys pipe down?

Lights out.

Lights out.

Lights out.

- What's the matter, Skinny?

- I'm scared.

Well, I'm not scared.

- And they're not gonna keep me in here.

Shut up, they'll hear you.

I want them to hear me.

I want them all to hear me.

I'm awful hungry.

Hup, hup, hup...

Company, halt.

Halt.

Hats.

Your hand to your hat.

Off.

Sit.

Wait for the order.

Down.

- Ow!

- Wait for the whistle.

Now you can eat.

What's the matter?

You're crazy, this is good stuff.

Phooey.

- What's the matter, don't you eat?

- No.

The less you eat,

the sooner you get out of here.

Hey, what do you have to do

to get better food around here?

If you wanna stool for Thompson,

he'll put you in the administration building.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Bacon and eggs.

Yes, sir.

Good morning.

Mr. Thompson.

Mr. Thompson.

There's a new boy, Johnny Stone.

He has a pretty bad cough and I really think

he should be in a hospital.

Well, what do you want

me to do about it?

I didn't send him up here.

Well, I know that, but I think

you should notify the state board.

All right. Notify them.

You know the notification

has to come from you.

Yeah. All right.

I think you should do it at once.

It's very dangerous

for the other boys to have...

Well, I said all right, didn't I?

Rise.

Hats on.

Assemble in the yards for work detail.

On the double.

Forward march.

Come on, do it.

Hold it down.

Come on.

Go to that laundry there.
