YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH MURDER.

Johnny Stone (Billy Halop) goes against the advice of his sister Madge (Gale Page) and hooks up with mobster Frank Wilson (Humphrey Bogart) in New York's Hell's Kitchen. Johnny and Frank steal a car, hold up a gas station and lend a gun to Frank to use in a pawnshop robbery. Fred Burke (Harvey Stephens) is arrested and convicted of murder; Johnny is tortured by the thought that Fred is facing execution for their crime. Frank repeatedly reminds Johnny that he must continue "playing dumb", as both men face execution if either confesses.
