Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Beniker Gang
Five orphans (four boys and a girl) have become a family at the orphanage where they grew up. Fearful of being separated, they run away to find their own home. The eldest (McCarthy) is a successful newspaper advice columnist. The kids try to fit in at their new school, and stay out of the way of the authorities.
