...taxicab driver who steers them to the evil retreat, are usually so ashamed of themselves afterward that they fail to report to the police. This racket, Police Commissioner Edward P. Mulrooney told the New York Bond Club two months ago, is one which the police are particularly anxious to stamp out. His speech did not fall on entirely deaf ears.

James Cagney is a race track driver with a curious obsession. He loves liquor and what he calls "women," but he is so anxious to segregate his young brother from all such enticements that he hurls a blonde (Joan Blondell) through a doorway, deserts his own mistress (Ann Dvorak) and whacks his brother (Eric Linden) on the face.
