E. G. Robinson parodies his own gangster image in this Damian Runyon story about a gangster gone straight. Tries to keep running the brewery that made him rich during prohibition, but no one working for him tells him how awful the beer actually is. Picks up an orphan boy to spend some time with the family - and also finds out his daughter is engaged to the 'wrong' kind of person: a cop!
Lots of mix-ups, including some fun generated with veteran character actor Alan Jenkins, et. al.. Dead-end kids fans will also enjoy seeing one of the kids playing the orphan (sorry, don't have the actor's name here).
