"Per aiutare padre Connelly (un amico di gioventù che vuole impedire ai ragazzi del quartiere di incamminarsi su una brutta strada) il gangster Rocky Sullivan, condannato alla sedia elettrica, finge di aver paura della morte, infrangendo in questo modo il mito del fuorilegge inflessibile e duro.

"James Cagney is Rocky Sullivan, a hoodlum who had always been on the wrong side of the law from an early age and was destined to spend his life in and out of jail. Rocky is effectively contrasted by his boyhood pal Jerry Connolly, who becomes the neighbourhood priest. What gives this 1938 movie its uniqueness is the fact that Cagney's no-good but dashing hoodlum is idolised by the youngsters on the block. Nominated for three Academy Awards, the film comes to a chilling climax with Rocky on death-row facing the electric chair."@en
"A Brooklyn gangster is admired by slum boys, but for their sake pretends to be a coward when he goes to the electric chair."
"Two boys from the slums go down different paths after attempting to break into a boxcar - Rocky, who is caught and sent to Reform School goes on to become a major local criminal and gangster, and Jerry, who goes on to become a priest involved in trying to reclaim youngsters from the area and prevent them becoming criminals. The local youngsters look up to Rocky and idolise and emulate him. Jerry's campaign against racketeers and a corrupt politician put his life in danger, but Rocky kills those plotting against him. Tried and sentenced to death, Jerry persuades Rocky to redeem himself, and the gang of juvenile delinquents from further crime, by feigning cowardice in the electric chair to destroy his heroic image."@en
