Story: An attorney defends a hoodlum of murder, using the oppressiveness of the slums to appeal to the court.

Andrew Morton is an attorney who made it out of the slums. Nick Romano is his client, a young man with a long string of crimes behind him. After he loses his paycheck gambling, hoping to buy his wife some jewelry, she announces she is pregnant. Later he finds her dead from suicide. When he turns again to robbery hes caught by a cop and pumps all his bullets into him in frustration. Mortons appeal to the court emphasizes the evils of the slums.

The police are rounding up any known criminals in the vicinity in the aftermath of a holdup in which a police officer was subsequently shot dead. One of those taken in is hoodlum Nick Romano, nicknamed "Pretty Boy" because of his youthful age and good looks, who is ultimately charged despite the evidence against him being slim. He turns to lawyer Andrew Morton. While Morton has known Nick for years and has thus unofficially been his lawyer over that time, Morton, who ends up taking the case, contemplated breaking off ties with Nick in that association having a negative impact especially on his professional life, the partners at his law firm who imply that he taking the case would jeopardize his chances of making partner. Much of Mortons case will depend on the testimony of Nicks friends, Butch and Sunshine--if Morton can find them--as Nick swears he was out for drinks with them when the incident happened. But arguably for Morton, what he may want to impress on the jury, if for his own sake and that of Nick and others like him, is the role that society has played in not giving someone like Nick a fair shake in life, Morton knowing his own indirect role leading to Nicks situation.
