Les Enfants de la crise (1933)
Pendant la Grande Dépression, aux Etats-Unis, Tommy et Eddie, deux adolescents de la classe moyenne, ne savent pas, lorsqu'ils invitent leurs petites amies à une fête de collège, qu'ils vivent leur dernière belle soirée. Le soir même, Tommy avoue à Eddie que sa mère, au chômage, en est réduite, à l'emmener à la soupe populaire. Chez lui, Eddie découvre que son père a été renvoyé de la cimenterie. La situation ne s'améliorant pas, les deux copains décident de chercher du travail sous des cieux plus hospitaliers. Ils se jettent, la nuit venue, sur la plate-forme d'un train de marchandise. Au matin, ils se querellent avec un autre vagabond, qui s'avère être une fille, Sally. Le trio, devenu inséparable, va essuyer bien des avanies...
