In Manhattan's lower east side, police officer Pat O'Hara (Pat O'Brien) wants his boxing promoter brother Danny (James Cagney) to acquire a more dependable job in order to support their mother after Pat marries his girlfriend Lucille Jackson (Olivia de Havilland). When Lucille meets charismatic Danny, she promptly falls for him- which complicates matters, to say the least.
When his fighter Hammerschlog (Allen Jenkins) gets cold feet just before a packed house charity boxing match, Danny has no choice but to step into the ring himself. Danny wins a bruising multi-round battle, and the publicity from the fight would seem to assure his future success as a promoter.
According to Warner Bros records the film earned $894,000 domestically and $443,000 foreign.[1]
