John Barrymore plays nearalcoholic defense attorney Tom Cardigan who handles a lot of cases for his childhood friend, gangster Valentine Vanny Powers William Stage Boyd who used Stage as his middle name to distinguish him from the better known William Boyd of Hopalong Cassidy fame. Powers thinks it would be a good idea for Cardigan to become Attorney General so his friend could do an occasional favor in return for Powers delivering the votes. Cardigan warns him that if Cardigan goes over to the other side, Powers can expect no favors from him. Meanwhile, Cardigan decides to defend a homeless woman, June Perry Helen Twelvetrees, accused of “tapping at the window” and, after secretly fitting her with a wedding ring he keeps in his pocket, frees her by noting the presence of said ring inferring she therefore could not be loitering for prostitution. He takes her home and, in a plot twist the Production Code would not allow, June stays there overnight. And every night thereafter. Cardigans success as Attorney General makes him a likely candidate for Governor. A political kingmaker thinks its possible and his daughter, Lillian Jill Esmond, begins dating Cardigan. During a drunken spree, they get married and he then goes home to tell June the bad news. During his explanation, he realizes he has made a terrible mistake and that he loves June, not Lillian. Nonetheless, June leaves and Cardigan goes on a honeymoon bender for several days, alone. Meanwhile, June has returned to her old friends in the Powers mob at a bar. Unfortunately, she walks outside just in time to see Powers murder a man in cold blood. She turns and walks quickly away. Powers catches up with her and threatens to kill her unless June keeps her mouth shut. She agrees but an offstage policeman overhears her agreement and jails her as a material witness. An Italian tenor, Mario Albert Conti, confronts Cardigan as he is sobering up, saying he wants to marry Lillian. Breathing a sigh of relief, Cardigan says he will annul his marriage. Later, Cardigan interviews the material witness and finds its June who refuses to return to him, thinking he has betrayed his values so he can become Governor. She adamantly maintains she did not see the murder so he releases her as a witness. At Powers trial, the defense springs June as a surprise witness, forcing her to admit that she could see the killer but didnt see the murder and didnt recognize Powers. Shocking his assistants, Cardigan decides not to crossexamine her. Powers laughs heartily, stopping Cardigan in his tracks. The Attorney General then withdraws his waiver, whispering “that laugh is going to cost you your neck” to Powers and promptly badgers and confuses June so that she blurts out an identification of Powers as the killer. Begging the courts indulgence, Cardigan abruptly announces that his assistants will handle the rest of the case. He then confesses that he had been sent to reform school—with Powers—for burglary and will therefore not run for governor, returning to his defense attorney status immediately. Powers had threatened to blackmail him if Cardigan prosecuted him. Outside, June congratulates him for his courage and for choosing his values over his ambition. They embrace and leave hand in hand.
