Storyline
"One Way Ticket to Hell" (aka "Teenage Devil Dolls") is a 1955 drama with Cassandra, who falls in with the wrong crowd in high school. Her home life is not great, and she turns to a group of delinquent bikers to escape.
Cassandra Leigh, a product of a broken home, joins a motorcycle gang and adopts heir habit of smoking marijuana cigarettes so they'll accept her. After just barely graduating from high school, she breaks with the gang and marries her childhood sweetheart, but is unhappy and resumes her association to the gang and marijuana smoking. This leads to stronger drugs and she obtains sleeping barbiturates. Her husband finds her in a stupor; as he calls a doctor, she attempts to drive away but crashes the car. After a brief hospital stay, she is released into the custody of her mother and husband and is sent to a convalescent home. She and another girl run away and start selling dope. A competitor grabs them and they work for him selling dope to teenagers, and Cassandra goes back to using drugs herself. The police close in and she and two Mexican boys steal a car and head for the Mexican border. A police road-block forces them to abandon the car and hide out in the desert. But when they suffer from narcotics withdrawal, they give themselves up to the police.
