Moon Over Harlem (1939)
De hardwerkende Minnie (Cora Green) trouwt met "Dollar" Bill (Bud Harris), een louche gokker die uit is op haar geld en haar aantrekkelijke dochter Sue (Izanetta Wilcois). Sue is ondertussen verliefd op Bob (Carl Hough), een idealist die graag over de skyline uitkijkt en zegt: "Harlem... er is hier zoveel te doen - het schreeuwt om leiderschap." Wanneer Bob besluit de gemeenschap te organiseren tegen lokale criminelen, beseft hij niet dat zijn aanstaande schoonvader Dollar Bill er een van is. Bill heeft ondertussen zijn eigen problemen: een agressieve blanke bende uit Lower Manhattan bemoeit zich met zijn actie, en de kogels vliegen hem om de oren.
