On the West Side of New York during the last days of Summer, two rival gangs live their lives in an elaborate game of cat and mouse.  The Jets regard the street as their territory.  Their opponents are the Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang who, to the Jets, are the invaders against whom they will protect their property with fists and, if necessary, more dangerous weapons.

The warring gangs will close ranks against the police; no one will break faith with their unwritten code, nor let the law take revenge for a slashed ear or a blacked eye.
