Plot: James Cagney, as a trading standards officer, finds himself treading on just about everybody's toes in his efforts to beat corruption.
Review: Not a particularly polished production, but James Cagney is entertainingly watchable as a 'weights and measures' officer with a penchant for annoying the wrong people and making use of his fists when he can't think of anything better to do.
There are other entertaining characters as well as the generic bad guys. James Burke stands out as a new recruit with the gift of the blarney, managing to effortlessly chat up Cagney's secretary and every other girl he meets. Joe Swayer as an old sparring partner of Cagney's also makes a good impression (and turns up in The Grapes of Wrath). There's not really a lot else to say, as this is ultimately a bit of a throw away movie, but there's a lot worse out there.
