Éra prohibice nebyla nikdy bouřlivější než v této kronice podsvětí, která ožívá v dynamické režii Raoula Walshe. Na pozadí téměř zpravodajských záběrů a vyprávění sleduje život nezaměstnaného válečného veterána Eddieho Bartletta (James Cagney), který se stává pašerákem alkoholu a namísto bitev se zabývá lahvemi. Jenomže bitvám se Eddie stejně nevyhne – čekají na něj uvnitř i za hranicemi jeho rostoucího impéria. Na jedné straně musí čelit teritoriálním sporům a krvavému vyřizování účtů, na straně druhé zradě svého společníka (Humphrey Bogart). Dalšího gangstera měl Cagney hrát až o deset let později (Bílý žár), v době, kdy už se gangsterské filmy stávaly vzácností. "Bejvalo to velký zvíře,” říká ve finále Panama Smith (Gladys George), když komentuje Bartlettův odchod... a signalizuje tak zároveň konec hollywoodského zájmu o gangsterský film.
