Summary:
Firebrand defense attorney Jeff Keane runs for Senate, and wins, after being chastised by his sitting senator for challenging "the old order." Unfortunately, it's a triumph that leads to Keane's defeat and ruin in this timeless piece of pre-code cynical cinema. Persuaded to run by his fellows in the Bar Association, Jeff proves a formidable foe of the corrupt forces of big business and crony politics, earning him the nickname of "the new Lincoln."
