Lew Ayres stars as a down and out musician named John Tracy.
One night at a local bar he meets a beautiful woman named Pat Peterson ( Majorie Steele) who is with a cop. His name is Simon (Sonny Tufts) and he has quite a temper when John or anyone comes near Pat.
Before too long John is accused of the murder of a shady character named Peter Hayden (James Griffith). We discover that Pat was the last person to be seen with him however, and Simon wants to cover it all up to protect Pat.
There are some interesting twists and turns in this little drama and the ending may come as a total non surprise, but it works no matter if you guessed it or not.
The actors are all very good in their respective roles. The rest of the cast includes Lewis Martin, Gertrude Michael, Charles Cane, Robert Bailey and Barbara Morrison.
A good little movie that film noir fans should re-discover.
