Chick Miller (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) and Scrap Iron Scratch (Guy Kibbee) are two hobos working the train station Union Depot. Chick steals a train uniform and then steals a suitcase. He encounters chorus girl Ruth Collins (Joan Blondell). She needs $64 for a train ticket to Salt Lake City. It's a night of danger and mysterious characters.
I like the chaos of the train station and the convoluted plot. It's like Grand Hotel except not in a hotel. I like that it all takes place in one night which gives it an intense immediacy. It does ramp up in action and thrills. All in all, it's a good crime drama.
