The Mayor of Hell (1933)
Vijf jeugdcriminelen, waaronder de leider Jimmy Smith worden naar de jeugddetentie gestuurd waar de strenge en corrupte Thompson de baas is. Wanneer zwendelaar Patsy Cargan (Cagney) een baantje krijgt aangeboden als hulpcommissaris als compensatie voor zijn daden, wordt hij verliefd op de schoolzuster (Evans) en haalt haar over een wat milder beleid te voeren ten aanzien van de jongens. De toestand van de crimineeltjes verbetert sterk, maar Thompson is alles behalve tevreden met het nieuwe beleid.
