Mac, a New York gunman and bootlegger, saves the life of a
down-and-out singer named Joan and, taking a liking to her, he gives her a
job in his cabaret. Meanwhile, attracted by the folksy Christmas
column of newspaperman George Graham, Joan is persuaded to join him in
visiting his Aunt Maggie and Uncle Joe, who mistake them for a married
couple. But Mac learns of the incident and takes her away from the
country retreat.
Later, Graham expresses his faith in Joan and confronts Mac
at the cabaret, demanding that he be allowed to see her. Learning of a plot
by a rival bootleg faction to kill him, Mac goes to shoot it out with the
gang and dies, giving the young couple his blessing. |
