City Streets
1931 · Movie · 82 min. · United States
Nan, a racketeer's stepdaughter, is in love with The Kid, a shooting gallery showman. Despite Nan's prodding, The Kid has no ambitions about joining the rackets and making enough money to support Nan in the lifestyle she's accustomed to. Her attitude changes after her stepfather implicates her in a murder and she's sent to prison. During her incarceration, her stepfather convinces The Kid to join the gang in order to help free Nan. When Nan is released, she wants nothing more to do with the mob and tries to get The Kid to quit, but she may be too late.
