Chicago - Engel mit schmutzigen Gesichtern (1938)
Der berüchtigte Gangster William Rocky Sullivan kehrt nach der Verbüßung einer Gefängnisstrafe in das Chicagoer Stadtviertel zurück, in dem er aufwuchs, und wo er einst seine kriminelle Karriere startete. Dort trifft er auf seinen Jugendfreund und damaligen Komplizen Jerome Jerry Connelly, der inzwischen ein geläuterter Priester ist und sich dem Kampf gegen die Jugendkriminalität verschrieben hat. Ein Mittel dazu sind Basketballspiele zwischen jugendlichen Gangs, die aber immer wieder daran scheitern, dass sich keiner der Kids an die Spielregeln halten will - ganz so wie im täglichen Leben auf der Straße, bei dem sich stets das Recht des Stärkeren durchsetzt.
