Storyline

Flicker Hayes (James Cagney) has a score to settle with his old bank-robbing partners, Dan (Bradley Page) and Red (Ralf Harolde). They set him up to take the fall for their last job, and now Flicker, just out of prison, wants revenge.

Convinced he's safe, Flicker falls for a reformed prostitute (Joan Blondell), unaware that Dan has escaped the police and is on the hunt for him.
