The Fall Guy

Johnny Quinlan loses his job in a drug store, and is afraid to tell his wife, Bertha, that he is going to work for a gangster. As he gets more desperate, he agrees to do small jobs for "Nifty" Herman, a small-time gangster, who loaned Johnny $15 to get him a manager job at a liquor store. Johnny tricks Nifty into confessing, and then subdues him, when he is resisting the efforts of Charles Newton and his deputies to arrest him.
