George Raft is an Italian immigrant just arriving in America with his pal Leo Carrillo ( though George doesn’t have an accent!). George meets rich girl Rosalind Russell on the ship coming from Europe. It’s love at first sight for him and he is spurred on to going from being a ditch digger to a powerful New York politician in the shake of an eye! (He meets the mayor who offers him a job.)
The very next scene is 4 years later and he’s the usual well dressed,suave Raft! ( with no attempt at an explanation of his success).
Rosalind is married to an unscrupulous banker whom Raft saves from prison...
