00:01:57I want to keep your eye on Danny.
00:01:59You're going to see him down at City Hall
00:02:00one of these days.
00:02:01Ha, ha.
00:02:02So says the proud brother-in-law.
00:02:03Not so fast.
00:02:04I'm not married yet.
00:02:05Besides, Mary has nothing to do
00:02:07with my being part of her brotherhood.
00:02:08Ha, ha.
00:02:11I know, Tom.
00:02:12Guardian angel of the East Side.
00:02:14Well, take it from me, with the exception
00:02:15of a few kids like Danny,
00:02:17they'll all end up in jail.
00:02:18Danny's no different than the rest.
00:02:20What all kids need is to be taught.
00:02:22Yeah, plenty.
00:02:24When I get to reform school...
00:02:25Reform school's not the answer.
00:02:26Extra!
00:02:28Flynn dies tonight!

00:02:40So that's the end of Freddy Flynn.
00:02:42Say, Tom, didn't you two used to pal around once?
00:02:46We were brought up together.
00:02:47We fought in the Golden Guzz.
00:02:49He was the sweetest scrapper you ever saw.
00:02:51He could give you the old one-two like...
00:02:52Like, uh, Mugs McGuinness down at Clancy's Pool Hall.
00:02:55Yeah, just like Mugs.
00:02:56Ha, ha.
00:02:57Well, see you later, Tom.
00:02:58I've got to do a little legwork.
00:03:05Get back here!
00:03:06Get back here!
00:03:07Get back here!
00:03:09You'll want to!
00:03:10Our kid's so good, we're losing all our enemies.
00:03:12Get up here.
00:03:13Lay off, Mugs.
00:03:14I ain't done nothing to you.
00:03:15So you're getting something for nothing.
00:03:17Hey, Mugs, a generous individual.
00:03:18Hey, that ain't patriotic.
00:03:20Hey, where did I sock you?
00:03:21On the jaw.
00:03:22On the jaw?
00:03:23The jaw!
00:03:24Why, what's wrong with me?
00:03:25I ain't for his chin.
00:03:27What's the prescription, Doc?
00:03:29Take Dr. Limpy's advice.
00:03:30Try again.
00:03:37Bring him over here, Limpy.
00:03:38Get going, Matthias.
00:03:39Oh, cut it out, fellas.
00:03:40I've had enough of this.
00:03:42Now, hold still.
00:03:42You'll get this right in your eye.
00:03:44Oh, get him shut out of this.
00:03:46Going to give you a little mud pack.
00:03:49Trouble is, there's no more competition around here.
00:03:51It's getting just like Park Avenue.
00:03:53Maybe you'd like reform school better.
00:03:55Hi.
00:03:56Did you say something about my form?
00:03:57Never mind that, Mugs McGinnis.
00:03:59Come on inside.
00:04:00I want to talk to you.
00:04:00Talk to Limpy.
00:04:01He's my manager.
00:04:02Not today.
00:04:03I'm starting tomorrow.
00:04:03None of your lips.
00:04:04This concerns you, too.
00:04:06All of you.
00:04:06Come on.
00:04:07Say, Mugs, pick up on these grounds hands
00:04:09and give me that nickel.
00:04:11Take it out of the collection after the sermon.
00:04:22Hold your sermon a minute, will you, copper?
00:04:23I'm thirsty.
00:04:25Hey, Clancy.
00:04:26Clancy, where are you?
00:04:28Did you call me, Mugsy?
00:04:29That was the general idea.
00:04:31Say, Clancy, you got any 1913 Liberty head nickels?
00:04:34I'll see.
00:04:381910, 1916, 19-
00:04:43Hey, that'll do.
00:04:44That's a beautiful one.
00:04:45Did you get any ice this morning?
00:04:46Sure, sure.
00:04:50How much?
00:04:51Nickel.
00:04:53Keep the change.
00:04:59Big shot, aren't you, Mugs?
00:05:00I'm doing all right.
00:05:02Pretty handy with your dukes, too.
00:05:03Well, there's those-
00:05:04Don't find any cuts, Mugs.
00:05:05I think they got the law on their side.
00:05:06Sure, sure, that's right.
00:05:08Personally, they don't come any better than me.
00:05:10Remember, the juvenile authorities
00:05:12gave you one more chance.
00:05:13I don't need no reminding.
00:05:15Why don't you go up to the police gym
00:05:16and do your fighting?
00:05:17Don't do it.
00:05:18That place is full of shower beds.
00:05:19He wants me to join the copper sewing circle.
00:05:20Is that a laugh?
00:05:21Hey, you'll get poisoned ivory.
00:05:24Ain't it bad enough you got Danny Breslin to go up there?
00:05:26You and Danny were pals once.
00:05:28We're still pals.
00:05:30We just don't see things eye to eye.
00:05:32What do you expect?
00:05:33He's got a schoolteacher for his sister.
00:05:34He wants to become president of the United States.
00:05:37I don't know, Roswell's doing all right without Danny.
00:05:39If Danny runs for president, I'll vote for him.
00:05:41But I'm sticking to my trade, see?
00:05:43Freddie Flynn wasn't such a bad boxer.
00:05:44Yeah?
00:05:45He could have made the big time.
00:05:46Only he didn't follow the rules.
00:05:48All right, count to the point.
00:05:49So he's in the big house.
00:05:50Yes, until 9 o'clock tonight.
00:05:53Flynn dies tonight.
00:05:55Governor denies Flynn a reprive.
00:05:58Slayer of fight, manager to die in chair.
00:05:59Execution set for 9 bells.
00:06:01Hello, Tom.
00:06:02You shouldn't put bad thoughts in kids' heads.
00:06:04They won't sleep good at night.
00:06:06Slats, that chair up the river will fit anybody.
00:06:09Boy, Dick Tracy said them very words.
00:06:11Boy, I sure like to see Dick Tracy
00:06:12and Superman in a good fight.
00:06:13Oh, shut up, you stupid lug.
00:06:15Here.
00:06:16Let me recommend the right kind of reading.
00:06:19Slats Morrison beats fight fix in charge.
00:06:21Boxing commissioner renews promoter's license.
00:06:24Hey, that's a nice piece of work.
00:06:25Oh, yeah.
00:06:26Boy, you've got to be smart.
00:06:28Freddie Flynn went to the fourth grade.
00:06:30Me?
00:06:30I just went to the tide.
00:06:37Hey, what's eating you?
00:06:39I don't get it.
00:06:40Oh, you mean about Slats' joke?
00:06:41You see, Freddie, he only went to the fourth grade.
00:06:43No, no, I mean a flatfoot.
00:06:44What about him?
00:06:45Why is he so interested in a crook like Freddie Flynn?
00:06:48Maybe it's a maternal instinct.
00:06:50Like me, huh?
00:06:51Just like to rock him to sleep.
00:06:52You're getting so good, you even got your shadow scared.
00:07:01Hiya, Danny.
00:07:02Hiya.
00:07:03How you doing, Monk?
00:07:05Wow, what a nifty boat.
00:07:06Is it yours?
00:07:07Sure.
00:07:08Maybe I'll even let you drive it sometime.
00:07:10Gee, I'd like that.
00:07:12OK, it's a promise.
00:07:14Look, Danny, it's none of my business,
00:07:18but I think you ought to know something.
00:07:20Know what?
00:07:22Well, I just heard Mugs McGinnis
00:07:23talking about your sister.
00:07:25Oh, that's nothing.
00:07:26He never did get along with Mary.
00:07:28Yeah?
00:07:29But if I had a sister, and Mugs said
00:07:32what he did about her, well.
00:07:33Well, what did he say?
00:07:35Maybe I'm talking out of turn.
00:07:37No, come on, spill it.
00:07:38It was about your sister and the copper.
00:07:41What about them?
00:07:43Can't you draw your own conclusions?
00:07:56Hey, boys, nothing to it.
00:07:57I'm a genius, that's all.
00:07:58Pay off, slats.
00:08:00Well, if it ain't the president himself.
00:08:02Hiya, Prez, how about me for treasurer?
00:08:04I didn't come here for any wisecracking, Mugs.
00:08:06Well, if it's money you want, I ain't got none.
00:08:08I don't like the way you've been talking about my sister.
00:08:10Hey, what gives?
00:08:11You know what gives.
00:08:12And you know I don't like that kind of stuff.
00:08:14Hey, you're unloading a parking zone.
00:08:16I said I didn't like it.
00:08:18Hey, Clancy, what is this, a pool room or the DA's office?
00:08:23I never knew you was a double-crosser until now.
00:08:28Saying nothing and acting.
00:08:33Hello, Police Station?
00:08:34Well, there's a fight going on over in Clancy's pool hall.
00:08:36Yeah.
00:08:37Yeah that's right.
00:08:49You know, if we could get him an arrest
00:08:50between rounds, we could charge admission.
00:08:52Mugs didn't say anything about Danny's sister.
00:08:54Hell, off once, Mugs.
00:08:57I'm going to get my warts on right now, you guys!
00:08:58Come on, you guys!
00:08:59Mine or Rob's!
00:09:00There we go.
00:09:01There we go.
00:09:02Give him a whip right now!
00:09:03Come on!
00:09:07Hey!
00:09:08Come on, lay down.
00:09:09Give it!
00:09:10Come on, now!
00:09:11Get him!
00:09:12Get him!
00:09:13Hey, Danny, break it up!
00:09:14The cops!
00:09:15Come on!
00:09:16Come on!
00:09:17Come on!
00:09:18Come on!
00:09:19Hurry up!
00:09:20Break it up, OK?
00:09:21Hurry up!
00:09:27So you wouldn't take my advice, Muggs McGinnis.
00:09:51Believe it or not, officer, I'm the victim of a young lady, an apple, and a snake.
00:09:57Pardon me.
00:09:58Two snakes, wit but a single toy.
00:10:01Come on, Muggs.
00:10:08Is that you, Danny?
00:10:10Yeah, it's me.
00:10:17Hurry and change, dear.
00:10:18We're having dinner with Tom and Mrs. Brady.
00:10:21Why, Danny, present.
00:10:23Where in the world have you been?
00:10:26At the gym.
00:10:27You should have taken a shower before you left.
00:10:29If I take any more showers, I'll need a new skin.
00:10:32You let nature worry about your skin.
00:10:34You take care of the fellow who's in it.
00:10:36Now go wash up.
00:10:40Mary?
00:10:42Yes, Danny?
00:10:45You and Tom, you're going to be married, aren't you?
00:10:49Why, Danny, you're not worried I might be an old maid.
00:10:55No, I ain't that.
00:10:56Isn't?
00:10:57Well, Tom, he's a swell fellow, isn't he?
00:11:01He certainly is.
00:11:03They don't come any better.
00:11:06That's what I thought.
00:11:08Gee, Mary, you're the best sister in the world, I'll bet.
00:11:11Oh, flatterer.
00:11:12Now go on, wash up.
00:11:14Okay.
00:11:16So you don't know who the other kid was, huh?
00:11:18Nope.
00:11:19What did he look like?
00:11:20You know me, Tom.
00:11:21I'm not good at describing.
00:11:22Yeah, kind of wearing on the mind.
00:11:25Yeah, no speaking English.
00:11:29You wouldn't know anything either, would you, Monk?
00:11:31Who, me?
00:11:36It's a funny thing.
00:11:37Somebody phoned the desk about that fight.
00:11:39Looks as though they wanted to get mugs in hot water.
00:11:41Look, I don't know nothing, see?
00:11:43I wasn't even here.
00:11:45Okay, don't get high blood pressure.
00:11:55But, Tom, I don't see why you should worry about mugs.
00:11:58Reform school is where he belongs.
00:12:00Well, that boy never had a home.
00:12:02No folks would tell him the difference
00:12:03between right and wrong.
00:12:05Poor lad.
00:12:06They say it's be praised that Danny here
00:12:08has had you to guide him, Mary.
00:12:10Oh, I suppose I am rather hard on mugs.
00:12:14But it's his constant fighting that annoys me.
00:12:17An Irishman's got to have a reason to be angry.
00:12:21But it's his constant fighting that annoys me.
00:12:24An Irishman needs a good scrap now and then.
00:12:27You're not such a bad scrapper yourself, Mrs. Brady.
00:12:29Well, I'm not needing police protection, Officer Brady.
00:12:35I wish I knew what that fight was about.
00:12:37Maybe I could keep mugs from being sent up.
00:12:40When did mugs ever need a reason to fight?
00:12:43Maybe Danny could help me find that reason.
00:12:45How about it, Danny?
00:12:47Just because you're going to marry my sister
00:12:50doesn't mean you can make me do anything.
00:12:51You're still a copper, and I hate coppers.
00:12:53I hate the police gym, too, and I'm never going there again.
00:12:55Danny.
00:12:56Now it's all right, Danny boy.
00:12:58Sure, and Tom's mighty proud of you.
00:13:00That's why he asked you to help him.
00:13:01I'm not going to help any copper.
00:13:03Danny, you may leave the table.
00:13:05It's a pleasure.
00:13:10Oh, Danny.
00:13:11There are your books you left in the pool hall.
00:13:15Mary, I'm sorry for what happened at dinner tonight.
00:13:18Oh, that's all right, Tom.
00:13:20No, it isn't all right.
00:13:22I can't explain, but you do understand
00:13:24the way I feel about those tenement kids, don't you?
00:13:26Of course I do.
00:13:29Every one of those kids deserves a break.
00:13:32It's just like a leak in the roof.
00:13:34If you don't fix it, it gets worse.
00:13:36Pretty soon, it affects the whole building.
00:13:38Then it's too late to do anything about it.
00:13:41That's the way it was with Freddie Flynn.
00:13:43Tom, darling, I understand.
00:13:54Don't kill the motor.
00:13:55I'll be right out.
00:13:57Don't kill the motor.
00:13:58I'll be right out.
00:14:27Home, James.
00:14:37Yeah, this is the place.
00:14:40Give us some service, Your Honor.
00:14:41Ah, what are you giving me?
00:14:42Lieutenants are owning the army.
00:14:43We come to see Mugs McGinnis.
00:14:45Now, isn't that nice?
00:14:47And did you bring flowers and candy?
00:14:49Oh, I got a rabbit's foot.
00:14:50I brought dynamite.
00:14:51I got a saw.
00:14:52I got a machine gun.
00:14:53I got a gun.
00:14:54I got a gun.
00:14:55I got a saw.
00:14:56I got a machine gun.
00:14:57Oh, you think you're smart.
00:14:58Maybe you'd like to stay here and spend a vacation.
00:15:00Look, boys, I got a deal on.
00:15:01I'll see you later.
00:15:02You can't see McGinnis.
00:15:03So beat it.
00:15:04Ah, let's go to a better hotel.
00:15:05Yeah, I don't like that bellhop at the desk.
00:15:07Anyway, what do we want to see Mugs for?
00:15:09We all know what he looks like.
00:15:11I hope they put you on a parachute division.
00:15:15Why did you and Danny fight?
00:15:17Next time they saw him singing, I'm hard of hearing.
00:15:20This wasn't one of your usual brawls.
00:15:22You and Danny must have had a special reason
00:15:24for slugging it out.
00:15:25That makes you think so.
00:15:27And anyway, who said Danny and me was fighting?
00:15:30If I could convince the juvenile bureau
00:15:32that this wasn't just another one-two,
00:15:34I might be able to get you off.
00:15:42Here, take a look at that.
00:15:50So what?
00:15:51I'd like to see you in there.
00:15:52Me?
00:15:53You'd be a good man if I gave you a chance to prove yourself.
00:15:55Prove what?
00:15:56That I can fight?
00:15:57That you can fight fair.
00:15:58You could have a career in the ring, Mugs.
00:16:00Why don't you go after it?
00:16:02Mugs, you're leaving here.
00:16:04Well, that's a good thing, because I
00:16:05had a swell escape planned.
00:16:07These are officials from the reform school.
00:16:10Young man, before we're through with you,
00:16:12you'll learn to have respect for authority.
00:16:14If you're the best example they've got,
00:16:16I'll give you odds.

00:16:41Hiya, Danny.
00:16:42Hiya, Mom.
00:16:43I just dropped by to give you a little present.
00:16:45Gee, thanks.

00:16:59Nice suit you're wearing, Mug.
00:17:01It fits.
00:17:10Well, can you wait till college, Danny?
00:17:12No, I'm not going to college.
00:17:15That's funny.
00:17:17I thought Mug just slipped your scholarship.
00:17:20What are you driving at?
00:17:22Come clean, kid.
00:17:23Why'd he give you the money?
00:17:24I drove him around in his new car last night.
00:17:26Did you make any stops?
00:17:27Yeah, once at a grocery store.
00:17:28We was only there a minute.
00:17:29Say, I bet you kept a motor running.
00:17:31How did you know?
00:17:34While putting away today's receipts,
00:17:36Tony Capri, grocer at 637 Chestnut Street,
00:17:39was slugged by an unidentified young bandit
00:17:42who made off with about $70.
00:17:45So what?
00:17:46Well, don't be afraid, kid.
00:17:48That's Morrison.
00:17:49Ain't no squealer.
00:17:50Live and let live.
00:17:51That's me.
00:18:01Hey, you see Mug?
00:18:02Yeah, just drove away.
00:18:03New car, new suit.
00:18:04I bet his money's even new.
00:18:05Hey, maybe he robbed a bank.
00:18:07Hey, Danny, we just seen him take Mugs out of the clink
00:18:09to take him to reform school.
00:18:10Yeah?
00:18:11What's eating you?
00:18:12None of your business.
00:18:14Hey, I bet he got brain fever.
00:18:16That's what school does for you.
00:18:17Economics is a science of man's activities
00:18:20devoted to obtaining the material means
00:18:23for the satisfaction of his wants.
00:18:25What do you mean that?
00:18:26He's absolutely illiterate.
00:18:28Hmm.
00:18:29You're pretty smart, kid.
00:18:31What class you graduate from?
00:18:32Oh, good God.
00:18:40Hello, Miss Breslin.

00:19:00I'm coming.
00:19:10Hello, Danny.
00:19:12Here I am.
00:19:13What are you doing here?

00:19:26No.
00:19:27Monk and me here, we got something to talk about.
00:19:29Yeah, Danny's a great one for talking secrets.

00:19:46OK, sis.
00:19:54Hey, what's the idea talking like that in front of my sister?
00:19:56I talked that way on purpose.
00:19:58I knew you wouldn't want her to find out
00:19:59about what happened last night.
00:20:00I thought you just wanted me to drive you around.
00:20:02I don't need that kind of a chauffeur.
00:20:04I ought to beat your head in.
00:20:06Look, Danny, get smart yourself.
00:20:08There's money, lots of money to be made in this town.
00:20:11Come on.
00:20:15Forget about going to college.
00:20:17When you get out, all you'll have is a desk in a room
00:20:19with your name on the door, Danny Breslin, lawyer.
00:20:22Not a dime in your pocket to keep the dust off.
00:20:24That's my business.

00:29:31Just back to reform school. Say it say it I don't scare so easy that's what I
00:29:36thought listen to this whereas mugs McGinnis is shown to continue disposition to
00:29:41use his fists and whereas the said disposition has resulted in sundry misfortunes
00:29:46to various opponents of said this and whereas the said mugs McGinnis has you said
00:29:52this fairly with courage and sportsmanship be it resolved that it is the prayer of
00:29:57the executive committee of the police athletic club to it that mugs do that they
00:30:02are wearing their colors and permitting their sponsorship in the Golden Gloves
00:30:06tournament. For the moment is McGinnis there is your discharge from parole. What do
00:30:13you say. I. Want my life but
00:30:20as. I got nothing to say.
00:30:38I got
00:30:38a full house. Well
00:30:51if it ain't the robber boy guess that means we don't want to be told still today
00:30:55on
00:30:55a wait a minute but as I got an angle on the amateurs you mean the Golden Gloves
00:30:59dollars fight them on
00:31:00a level get out there and this is about mugs McGinnis and Johnny Ryan toss up
00:31:06between those two we don't make bets for fun. What's it like to you if I deliver
00:31:11the winner. You mean you can reach one of those boys now you're
00:31:18catching on who's the boy how can you do it that's my business.
00:31:24A neck give Mr Morris in
00:31:26a seat. Case that's that fight is fixed I want exclusive show you know
00:31:33me that's why I'm warning you beforehand how soon can you tip us off. I need
00:31:39a little cash to swing it I thought there'd be
00:31:41a catch in it OK how much about two grand.
00:31:46I. Remember
00:31:59slaps from now on the fingers on you and no tricks don't worry it's in
00:32:05a bag just be sure you're not in that bag floating down the East River.
00:32:16And. Come here get a load of this come here I have got solid old man but you can
00:32:23the public here and I'm
00:32:23a one that's me so you join the police force did you when you leave the parade I
00:32:27never know the day would come don't look kosher to me I'm sure you can't get up in
00:32:32the world these days legitimate anyhow said I was
00:32:35a gum shoe. Well you might as well be. Yeah yeah maybe you're right.
00:32:43I. Keep the change all right let's go on.
00:32:52That was
00:32:52a quick rush. What I ever do to him it and do nothing but the monks don't
00:32:59plenty. I got it what this is the guy what's just
00:33:04a gag you remember Danny accused me of talking about
00:33:06a sister one month put him up to that so we could get in
00:33:08a fight and maybe sent up. That low down I don't mind if I was.
00:33:17So the cop was
00:33:18a sponsor and yet I could tell you a lot what's the angle. This is private see
00:33:24you later fellas I don't even want to know this don't mean
00:33:27a thing to me I'm going to a friend but if I was you well
00:33:31a grand don't grow on trees a grand and maybe more what do I have to do it's
00:33:36easy. Look here what's
00:33:44this fight with Johnny I'm going to do for you nothing you don't have to win you
00:33:48can make money by losing that fight sort of fight so
00:33:51a bunch of racketeers can clean up. Now that's quick thinking sure it's quick
00:33:55thinking listen Slats Mars and I'm one in this fight and I'm going to see and you
00:33:59can tell those pals of yours not to try to muscle in on the amateurs because it
00:34:03ain't healthy. Sure I'm like.
00:34:12Hey you've been doing all right kid that's all in a day's work I noticed that
00:34:17Slats Morrison seemed to be full of ideas as he is thinking of trying to coin some
00:34:21money on the fight I'm thinking of winning it that's all I know and a boy come on
