Description: An analysis of the emotional disturbance of a boy whose hostility finds expression in terms of stealing. Through the help of a child guidance clinic, this hostility is traced back to the source in the home life of the child where a good and well-intentioned mother has been taking out her hostility toward her mother and her husband in an over-protective attitude toward the child. The film then develops as it describes the process in which the child is helped by guidance personnel in his way to recovery. Cinematography by Peter Glushanok.

Complete Record: Dramatizes the story of Tommy Randall, who has been caught stealing at school, and who is sent to a child guidance clinic rather than being of an emotional problem. Traces the disturbance, through a portrayal of his family lie, to its source. Shows how Tommy's mother learns to understand him and how Tommy himself becomes adjusted through the work of the clinicians.
