Johnny Eager

“They’re Dynamite”

Johnny Eager (Robert Taylor) is a paroled racketeer who wants only to keep running his rackets, and he needs the district attorney, John Benson Farrell (Edward Arnold), off his back. His plan runs through Lisbeth Bard (Lana Turner), the DA's stepdaughter and a sociology student. Mervyn LeRoy sets a man who lies for a living beside someone who believes what she is told.
