Summary
A young musician dwelling in the slums is beaten and robbed by a gangster who is attracted to his sister. A quarrel over the girl touches off a small war between rival gangs, but because the gangster has protected the girl against a rival, she and her brother furnish an alibi for him. Celebrated as an early gangster film for its social theme of poverty and crime in the big city and for the documentary quality of its New York street photography.
