SUNDAY, MAR. 20, 1949

Poverty caused by the loss of their breadwinner has reduced the Romano's to living on Skid Row—where thieving, killing and. all lawlessness abound. Young Nick (John Derek), sucked into the vicious atmosphere, is sent to a reform school where he becomes embittered. Even Morton's continued interest fails as Nick, upon his release, engages in a hold-up.

In another robbery, he kills a policeman. Protesting his innocence, Nick seeks Morton as his defense attorney. Uncettain that Nick is guiltless, but convinced of the wrong done by his environment and companions, Morton agrees to plead for Nick. Just when Morton has the case practically won the prosecutor questions Nick about his wife. Nick breaks down at the mention of her name. He screams out his quilt, but begs them to keep his wife's name out of the affair.
