Former "gutter rat" James Cagney is having a hard time as a lawyer. The only clients who want his services are hoodlums, but he isn't interested. Finally after one of his college buddies is shot in the back by the local mob, Cagney joins the Department of Justice. His trainer is tough as nails, but he has a good heart and after some rough spots they finally become friends and even partners out in the field hunting down some bloodthirsty bank robbers...the very same thugs who shot his friend in the back. Imagine that!
Nothing deep going on here, just a straightforward story about a young man with a strong sense of justice and the tenacity to get things done! Yeah, see!
