| Summary |
In Great guy, Deputy Commissioner of Weights and Measures Cagney is warned to keep his fists in his pockets. The temptation proves too much for tough-guy Cagney as he exposes a bunch of corrupted officials and hoodlums. In the musical comedy Something to sing about, a New York bandleader becomes a Hollywood star, but refuses to change his way of life. In Blood in the sun, an American newspaper editor working in pre-World War II Japan tries to expose the menace of a Japanese militarist plan ("Tanaka plan") for world conquest. |
