Jimmy Cagney plays a gangster who, after returning from a stint in prison, decides to turn over a new leaf. His new career as a tabloid photographer, however, does little to smooth things over with Lieutenant Nolan--the skeptical cop whose daughter he's trying to romance. A lurid look at newsrooms in the 1930s, the film includes a scene based on the controversial photo of Ruth Snyder's execution.
