My Buddy (1944) is a film that Republic Pictures released in mid-1944, aiming to address the social issues of the time, particularly the challenges faced by World War I veterans returning home. The story begins with Father Jim Donnelly presenting to a post-war planning board in Washington, D.C., where he recounts the tale of Eddie Ballinger, a veteran deeply affected by his wartime experiences. Upon returning home, Eddie finds that his job is gone and is met with "No Help Wanted" signs, making it difficult for him to secure honest employment. Despite the encouragement from his mother and his sweetheart, Lucy Manners, Eddie turns to illegal activities, working for bootlegger Tim Oberta and becoming involved with entertainer Lola. Lola's betrayal, a common trope for one-name characters in such narratives, adds to Eddie's downward spiral, highlighting the struggles and moral dilemmas faced by veterans in the 1940s.
