Bill White (Grant Withers) is an irresponsible womanizing railroad engineer. He gets kicked out of his boarding house and gets invited into the home of fellow engineer Jack Kulper (Regis Toomey). Bill starts getting too close to Jack's wife Lily (Mary Astor) and they have a relationship.
It's a pre-Code drama and the sound is pretty good. This has a couple newbies and future stars, James Cagney and Joan Blondell, in minor roles. It's a melodrama of minor importance. It does tackle an edgy subject matter without the Code. So anything goes and I have no expectations. While the ending is ambiguous, I expected a darker tone to the interaction.
