Based on the Short Story: "The Daughter of Crooked Alley" by Jack Boyle

SYNOPSIS:

Boston Blackie is not a completely reformed crook who tries to hide his criminal tendencies and devotes his life to righting wrongs. In this case, Blackie wants to wreak vengeance upon the cruel and merciless Judge Milner who was partially responsible for the death of a kindly old convict by refusing to arrange a pardon for the man. To expedite this, Blackie hires Norine, the dying man's daughter, to help "get" the judge through his son Rudy Milnar. Blackie takes the judge's son, Rudy, under his wing and attempts to steer the lad into a criminal career. Blackie is reformed by sweet Norine, daughter of the deceased convict. A romance between the two prevents the plan from succeeding.
