Gambler "Lucky" Larry Sheldon (Richard Dix) confronts a gangster over the murder of his friend. The gangster ends up dead and Larry has to go on the run accompanied by sidekick Chick. Chick steals the wallet of minister Ted Walters. Before Larry could return it, the train crashes and an unconscious Larry is assumed to be Ted Walters. He wakes up in the home of Reverend Powell and he falls for the daughter Doris.
It's a fine gangster adjacent film, but I'm never completely rooting for Richard Dix. He looks more like a thug than a pretty leading man. The character would work better as an everyman trying to do good. Richard Dix is never completely away from his gangster looks.
