Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: A group of juvenile delinquent orphans set out to rescue one of their own who has been adopted by a rich family.

Kitty Cameo (with a Mild Kitty Carnage Warning!) The orphans are all prisoners of the Home of the Bleeding Heart Catholic orphanage where they run amok, spurred on in no small part by their authoritarian overseers, including the cattle-prod brandishing headmaster Mr. Kurtz (Murphy Dunne). In an early scene, Kurtz is making his rounds when he comes across a girl spray painting a tabby cat green.

Both the cat and the girl run for cover as Kurtz approaches, the tabby letting out a Poor Cat Screech.

Final Mewsings: Cats know the difference between bad manners and criminality.

Many thanks to Mark Murton for letting us know about the cat in this film.
