After Kent shows the proper amount of contrition, the lawyer cuts a deal with the lumber company to have Kent work off the value of the wood he stole, teaching Kent a valuable lesson: while all that high-falutin' talk about respect for the law may be important, having the money to afford a slick lawyer who can keep you out of jail is much more important.

However, his girlfriend and his dad soon show him the error of his ways by proving--via such examples as The Ten Commandments and the intricacies of hydroelectric dam construction, subjects of vital interest to teenagers in the 1950s--that sound ideals, of course, are the basis of popularity. Jeff learns a valuable lesson that will serve him well later in life: if you want hot chicks, forget the red Corvette and the Armani suits--drive a Studebaker and become a born-again construction engineer.
