Love That Brute.

Mobster Big Ed (Paul Douglas) sends top henchman Bugsy Welch (Keenan Wynn) to place a white carnation—his trademark—on the corpses, to suggest that he is responsible. Big Ed falls in love with Ruth Manning (Ruth Manning), a country girl who came to Chicago to be a singer, but is now a children's governess. He poses as a widowed father and asks her to take care of his child, with the promise of tripling her salary. When she accepts, he sends Bugsy to audition a son for him. Ruth grows close to Big Ed
