I saw this the first time the other day on the fox movie channel.It'a an early Spenser Tracy classic.He plays an honest cop who work on a pier.He meets Joan Bennet who works at a café as a cash register. Her sister is getting married to a sailor. The wedding is being planned but she still in love with her old boa who a crook He tries to persuade her to help him in the crime.during the wedding party every one get drunk with illegal booze.Joans father throws the radio out of the window after his daughter husband has listen to a song about a gigolo. some body complains and Spenser shows up to stop the noise but lets the party go on any way. She and him get even more smitten There's a drunk joke in the picture for humor but its not funny the actor who plays Spensers assistant .I though it the actor who would play jack Benny's announcer, Don something, It looks like him. but it's not. Well Spenser gets promoted as detective. Joans sisters ex boa is now in prison.But he breaks out. and gets her sister to hide him at her house . But her paralyzed husband father on a wheel chair.played by Henry B. Walthal. Knows what going on and communicates with his eyes through Morse code. As Joan and Spenser are leaving his dog at her sister house. she takes the notes and the next day studies it and finds out whats going on. she flies out of the café the go to her sister house to get the crook to leave before Spenser finds out and throws her sister in jail for helping criminal. but tract finds out and get the criminal but makes up to the police chief that he was chasing him and not Joan's sister. this is a fair classic and the few ones made in the early thirties that fox movie channel shows occasionally since most of their movie they show are late dates.
