Weg aus dem Nichts

Weg aus dem Nichts (1939)

KrimiDramaLiebesfilm

Joe Bell kann vom Leben offenbar nicht mehr viel erwarten. Erst verbüßt er unschuldig eine Haftstrafe, dann kommt er wegen einer Nichtigkeit - Tramperei auf einem Güterzug - in ein Arbeitslager. Dort verliebt er sich in Mabel, die Tochter des Lageraufsehers Charley. Als sie eines Abends bei einem Stelldichein von Mabels Vater überrascht werden, kommt es zu einer handgreiflichen Auseinandersetzung zwischen ihm und Joe. Charley, seit Jahren herzkrank, stirbt kurz darauf. Das Pärchen flieht und heiratet kurze Zeit später. Joe ist hin und hergerissen zwischen dem Drang nach kriminellen Aktivitäten oder ehrlicher Arbeit. Als er dann als zufälliger Zeuge eines Banküberfalls Sensationsfotos schießen kann, ist er bei einer Zeitung bald ein gefragter Mann. Doch damit rückt er auch in das Licht der Öffentlichkeit und die Polizei kann ihn dingfest machen. Es kommt erneut zu einem Gerichtsprozess, diesmal mit einer Anklage wegen Mordes. Wieder scheint es schlecht für Joe auszugehen.
