Young New York cop Dan falls in love with waterfront waitress Helen.
In this wisecracking comedy, Dan Dolan (Spencer Tracy) is a cop whose beat is the New York waterfront. Dan has a soft spot for Helen Riley (Joan Bennett), a sharp-tongued waitress at a cheap diner, while her scatter-brained sister Kate (Marion Burns) is in love with Duke Castage (George Walsh), a sleazy low-level mobster. While Duke makes a play for Kate, both Helen and Dan know that he's bad news, and Dan wants to put Duke behind bars
Gangster Duke Castenega (George Walsh) asks his ex-girlfriend, Kate (Marion Burns), to provide him with the combination numbers to safe deposit boxes at the bank where she works. When Duke is arrested, he escapes and hides in Kate's attic. Danny Dolan (Spencer Tracy), who's just received a promotion to detective, is assigned to find the gangster. He's in love with Kate's sister, Helen (Joan Bennett), and seeks her help in the investigation -- but Helen is reluctant to place Kate in jeopardy.
something like that...
