[edit] Plot summary
Bill Keller (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.) and Toodles Cooper (Frank McHugh) move to New York after leaving the United States Marine Corps. Unemployed and almost out of money, they meet blonde Southerner Patricia "Alabama" Kent (Bette Davis). Keller convinces her to share their apartment to save on expenses.
Keller narrowly escapes death when he parachute jumps for some money. Next, he becomes the chauffeur for Mrs. Newberry (Claire Dodd), the mistress of gangster Kurt Weber (Leo Carillo). Eventually, Keller and Cooper become entangled in Weber's schemes, getting them in trouble with the law.
