<P> Behind the opening credits , the film opens on a suburban Los Angeles street with teenager Jim Stark ( Dean ) drunkenly lying down on a sidewalk . He is arrested and taken to the juvenile division of the police station for `` plain drunkenness '' . At the station he meets John `` Plato '' Crawford ( Mineo ) , who was brought in for shooting a litter of puppies with his mother 's gun , and Judy ( Wood ) , who was brought in for curfew violation ( she was wearing a bright red dress with matching lipstick and was mistaken for being a streetwalker ) . The three each separately reveal their innermost frustrations to officers ; all three of them suffer from problems at home : </P>
