Humphrey Bogart is "Rocks" Valentine, a sturdy if familiar variation on the hoods and have-nots that were his early stock in trade at the studio. Bogart's fence and former paramour is Jo Keller, played by Claire Trevor as glamorous, streetwise, and otherwise decent, apart from her knack for larceny. When the doctor asks her to fence his glittering contraband, she's intrigued, and Clitterhouse (James Cagney), known to the hoods only as "the Professor," becomes their strategist. Jo is clearly falling for him, while "Rocks" is visibly jealous of the fastidious stranger's rising influence and romantic rivalry.

Humphrey Bogart in a supporting role as another hood. Stars James Cagney and Pat O'Brien as two old friends from the Brooklyn streets, except one (Cagney) is now a gangster while the other (O'Brien) is a priest. Caught in the middle are the hearts and minds of the Dead End Kids, who look up to the crook but still listen to the clergyman. Absolutely irresistible stuff, with tons of prewar Brooklyn atmosphere, Appealing ensemble work by the Dead End Kids, and a climax in which Cagney's character does a noble deed for the ages.
