Although he's tangled up with booze, shady characters, a bad girl who's good for him (Helen Twelvetrees) and a good girl who's bad for him (Jill Esmond, at the time Mrs. Laurence Olivier), Tom makes a success of his new career and appears headed for the governor's mansion. Then the cops nab Tom's former boss on a murder rap, and Tom prosecutes, knowing the mobster may spill a secret that will destroy Tom's future. David O. Selznick is executive producer of this fast-paced thriller highlighted by sharp dialogue, courtroom pyrotechnics and Barrymore's transfixing talent.
