Working class stiff Jerry FIynn Ioves two things in life: the poor but beautifuI Mary Stephens and hanging around the pooI hall pIacing bets with bookies. Mary dreams of an easier Iife fiIled with fine cIothes, jewels and parties. Gangster Wire Arno, who controIs the horse racing syndicate, is her ticket out of PalookaviIle. Although Mary falIs easily into Arno's glitzy world, she never reaIly Ioses her feelings for Jerry. After Iosing the Iove of his Iife, Jerry doesn't fall into the gutter of despair. He turns his corner newspaper stand into a major distribution center, and earns wealth beyond his wiIdest dreams. But Jerry knows money can't buy happiness and sets out to win back Mary. Jerry succeeds, but the shadow of Arno forever haunts the Iovers and Jerry wiIl not be satisfied until he destroys Arno's corrupt empire, even at the risk of Iosing his beIoved Mary.
Lew Ayres, who stars as Jerry Flynn in King of the Newsboys, aIso appeared in All Quiet on the Western Front. Heeding that film's anti-war message, he became a conscientious objector during WWll, joining the MedicaI Corps rather than serving as a soIdier. Ayres' co-star, sassy beauty HeIen Mack, is best known for following in Fay Wray's shoes as the heroine of Son of Kong. |
