“The King of Action joins the crime smashers!”

In 1935, Brick Davis (James Cagney) is a struggling attorney whose law school was paid for by a mobster, and he has kept clear of the underworld ever since. When a friend is gunned down by a notorious criminal, Brick gives up his practice and joins the Department of Justice. William Keighley sends him after the killer, and Brick has to stay alive among men who shoot first.
