  • "Johnny Eager, an ex-con, drives a taxi for the benefit of the parole board while directing his lucrative underworld activities. Lisbeth Bard, a rich student, falls in love with Johnny but is the victim of a murder frame-up staged by him so he can control her stepfather, the district attorney. Johnny belatedly recognizes his love for Lisbeth."
  • "Johnny Eager ist ein gerissener Ganove, der seine Bewährungsfrist scheinbar brav und bieder als Taxifahrer absolviert. Doch heimlich ist er längst wieder Chef einer Gaunerbande. Als er die Tochter des Staatsanwaltes, der ihn hinter Gitter brachte, kennen lernt, beschliesst er, sie sich auf heimtückische Weise gefügig zu machen. Er verwickelt sie in einen fingierten Streit, bei dem sie (mit Platzpatronen) Johnnys Kollegen erschiesst."
