Politicos award gangster Patsy Gargan (James Cagney) a cushy job as head honcho at a poorly run reform school for boys. But Patsy is moved by the kids -- he himself was raised in the slums! He determines to give the boys every opportunity he never had. Madge Evans, Arthur Byron, Allen Jenkins, Dudley Digges and Frankie Darro co-star in this drama from screenwriter Edward Chodorov and director Archie Mayo.
