It's 1927. Murderous gangster Joe Krozac (Edward G. Robinson) returns from Europe with new wife Talya. She is clueless about his crimes. He gets imprisoned for tax evasion. Reporter Paul North (James Stewart) plays a dirty trick on Talya and her baby.
It's early in Stewart's career but just for the sake of the story, his character needs to be inserted earlier than forty minutes. It's a love triangle and one side is missing for the first half of the movie. He could be part of the push to convict Joe. The baby gun issue is a little hard to swallow. I would give that to another reporter in his paper. Jimmy needs to play up his nice guy persona. This is an interesting trio and a fine film.
