    Plot Outline: A boxer flees believing he has comitted a murder while he was drunk.
    Plot: Johnnie is a boxer. The same evening he won the world championship, he is charged for the murder of a reporter and is taken for dead. Running away from New York, he ends up in a ranch in Arizona, run by an old lady as a work farm for delinquent teenagers. He falls in love with Peggy and became the teenagers hero. But there is that New York Detective, Phelan, that does not believe he is dead and is chasing him... An unlikely scenario, but not a so bad film.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 2 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    The events depicted in this town are fictitious.

    Goofs: We know about 1 goofs. Here comes one of them:
    Audio/visual unsynchronized: At the end, when Phileine runs towards Max at the AIDS benefit, the singer of the band is the background isnt doing anything although we *do* hear the band perform.

    Trivia: There are 3 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • Desert location shooting was so hot at times that the film melted in the camera.
    • Claude Rains at first turned down the part, feeling he would be miscast and look ridiculous as a tough New York City cop. Only after being threatened by the studio with suspension did he reluctantly accept it, but he always considered this one of his least favorite pictures.
    • The play opened off-broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 4 April 1933.
