A classic tale of crime and show business? When Dan(James Cagney) loses his job as movie theater usher, others help him realize he has talent...maybe a true talent as a crook. When the police start to close in on Dan and his cronies in crime, it is not exactly lay low; but head to some kind of new start in California. He just stumbles into the motion picture business. Time for Dan to go straight as his tough guy attitude lands him in the movies. It doesn't take long to become cream of the crop and Dan likes it on top. But is he going to stick to the straight and narrow when his former criminal friends discover that truly it is him on the silver screen. Will blackmail bring the matinée idol down? A talented supporting cast features: Mae Clarke, Douglass Dumbrillel, Leslie Fenton, Margaret Lindsay, Henry O'Neil and Douglas Cosgrove.
