Jimmy Dolan (Douglas Fairbank Jr.) is the new light heavyweight champ and claims to be clean living. He has an endorsement deal with a health company, but he does otherwise in his private life. He gets drunk with a group of friends. Unbeknownst to him, reporter Charles Magee has joined the group and threatens to expose him. Jimmy kills him with one drunken punch. After a car crash, he's presumed dead. While starving, he stumbles upon a charity farm run by Peggy (Loretta Young) for a group of children. Meanwhile, police detective Phlaxer is unconvinced of his death and continues his search.
This is a pre-Code drama based on a play and later remade into They Made Me a Criminal. I really like the premise and the overall story. The combination of Douglas Fairbank Jr. And Loretta Young is nice. Maybe they could get to this pairing a little sooner. Maybe he could be injured in the car crash and she nurses him back to health. All in all, it's a good story.
