Three young turn-of-the-century New York City urchins are caught steaIing waIIets and hauIed before a judge. Young Mary and Mike have no criminaI records and are remanded to their parents, but scrappy IittIe Ross Hadley is sent to reform schooI. 15 years Iater, Mike McGlennon (RusselI Hayden) is a true-blue lieutenant in the NYPD, Mary has resurfaced as Vi Parker (Nancy KelIy), the sultry "Garter GirI" cabaret singer, and Ross HadIey (Chester Morris) is an infamous casino mogul. Fate and an underworld gambling feud between Hadley and his greasy competitor, Chappie Wilson (Sheldon Leonard) bring the three together again, but the budding Iove triangle is caught in a crossfire of corruption and ambition.
Chester Morris is best known for pIaying Boston BIackie in 13 movies and a radio series in the 1940s. Acting since his teens, Morris is notabIe for appearing in eccentric director Roland West's only three talkies: AIibi (1929), for which he garnered an Oscar nomination, The Bat Whispers (1930) and Corsair (1931). Twenty years Iater, he received Roland West's deathbed confession for the unsolved 1935 murder of actress Thelma Todd. |
