Tough guy Rocky Sullivan (James Cagney) plays Pied Piper to a gang of teenage hoods (the Dead End Kids) while boyhood pal turned priest Jerry Connelly (Pat O'Brien) tries to save their souls in this gangster classic from director Michael Curtiz. The two vie for control of the neighborhood, but when Connelly is almost killed by Rocky's duplicitous associates (Humphrey Bogart and George Bancroft), Rocky guns them down and finds himself sentenced to death.
