Overview

Idealistic attorney Anton Adam makes headlines when he successfully prosecutes a prominent New York racketeer named Gilmurry. Adam’s sudden renown attracts the attention of high-profile legal eagle Granville Bentley, who asks Adam to become a partner in his law firm. But Adam’s rising career takes a nosedive when he’s framed by Gilmurry and a sexy actress in a trumped-up breach of promise suit.

Viewing Notes

William Powell is breezy with a steel spine as a crusading attorney. Joan Blondell (as his secretary) stews, furiously, whenever he goes off course.
