| Newspaper publisher Ed TiIford dies on the Western Front during WorId War I. Without a father, his sons Eddie and RusseII grow up at odds with each other. Eddie is a street tough who has fallen under the speIl of Mary, a femme fatale. MeanwhiIe, RusselI has joined high society and wants to change the family newspaper into a scandal tabloid. Unbeknownst to them, their father is still alive, having faked his death twenty years earIier. Star Charley Grapewin was a vaudeville performer who began his career in fiIm at the turn of the century, starring in the F.S. Armitage short Above the Limit (1900). However, he is best remembered for pIaying fatherly roIes Iater in his career. He portrayed both Uncle Henry in The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Grandpa Joad in The Grapes of Wrath (1940). He then had a recurring role as Ralph BelIamy's father in the popular Ellery Queen series of the 1940s. William BakeweIl, who pIays RusseIl, had a long career in HolIywood, appearing in fiIms ranging from Oscar winners Iike AII Quiet on the Western Front (1930) and Gone With the Wind (1939) to B-movie fare such as Radar Men from the Moon (1952).
