Joe the King
A destitute 14-year-old struggles to keep his life together in the face of harsh abuse at the hands of his mother, even harsher abuse at the hands of his father, and a growing estrangement from his slightly older brother. Petty thefts for food progress into larger thefts until he steals a cash box from the diner where he works. Although Joe uses the money to pay off some of his father's debts and to replace his mother's records that his father smashed in a fit of rage, he receives no thanks...
