Bill (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) and Toodles (Frank McHugh) have trouble finding work during the Great Depression. They hook up with 'Alabama' (Bette Davis) and get involved with gangsters and drugs.
Bette said this was her worst movie but honestly it's not that bad. Fairbanks is charming, McHugh is amusing and Bette is as good as she could be. It's not a great movie at all but it's a fun pre-Code film. Also there are some amazing aerial stunts and (for a B movie) impressive special effects. Also I was surprised to see McHugh give the finger to a motorist who drives by him when he needs a lift! So it's worth watching at least once. For the record Fairbanks hated it too.
