Joey (Richie Andrusco), a bratty 7-year-old kid from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, is handed off to his older brother Lennie (Rickie Brewster) for the day. Fed up with his younger brother’s obnoxiousness, Lennie and his pals play a cruel prank on the boy, leading him to think he has accidentally killed his brother. Running away in fear, Joey escapes to Coney Island, where he spends a full day and night exploring the excitement of the midway while his panicked brother searches for him.
