Each Dawn I Die

“Slugging their way to adventure !”

In 1939, reporter Frank Ross (James Cagney) keeps writing about the crimes of a district attorney with his eye on the governor's office. The D.A. answers by framing him for manslaughter, and Ross is sent to prison, where he falls in with the gangster 'Hood' Stacey (George Raft). William Keighley builds the story around one plain idea: a man locked up for what he didn't do has no way left to prove it.
