Ginger Rogers was quite young when she acted in this film, but she already had two years of film experience under her belt. Here, she plays Babyface, girlfriend of a boxer named Kayo (played by Robert Armstrong) who is the extremely jealous type.
The film's protagonist is Tommy Jordan (Eddie Quillan), a likable guy who repairs radios for a living. Babyface seems interested in Tommy, but he wants to steer clear of her, fearing Kayo's wrath. Kayo actually takes him under his wing in a protective sense.
Tommy has the questionable luck to fall in love with Edna (Joan Peers) who is the reluctant object of Nick Vatalle's (Ralf Harolde) affection. Nick is a fight manager and all-around thug.
Near the end of the film, when you think they are going to lay a moral on you about the big city or crime and prohibition, everything turns out jake. But we kind of knew that, because this film is more comedy than crime.
This group of actors is fun to watch. Recommended viewing for fans of Ginger Rogers especially.
