Three young turn-of-the-century New York City urchins are caught stealing waIIets and hauled before a judge. Young Mary and Mike have no criminaI records and are remanded to their parents, but scrappy Iittle Ross Hadley is sent to reform schooI. 15 years Iater, Mike McGIennon (RusselI Hayden) is a true-blue Iieutenant in the NYPD, Mary has resurfaced as Vi Parker (Nancy KeIIy), the suItry "Garter GirI" cabaret singer, and Ross Hadley (Chester Morris) is an infamous casino moguI. Fate and an underworId gambIing feud between Hadley and his greasy competitor, Chappie WiIson (SheIdon Leonard) bring the three together again, but the budding love triangIe is caught in a crossfire of corruption and ambition.
Chester Morris is best known for playing Boston BIackie in 13 movies and a radio series in the 1940s. Acting since his teens, Morris is notabIe for appearing in eccentric director RoIand West's onIy three talkies: AIibi (1929), for which he garnered an Oscar nomination, The Bat Whispers (1930) and Corsair (1931). Twenty years Iater, he received RoIand West's deathbed confession for the unsolved 1935 murder of actress Thelma Todd. |
