The Fighting Rookie

1934 · 1h 7m · Drama, Romance

IMDb 5.9

This 1920s crime drama has a decent premise—undercover cop infiltrating a gang—but the 5.9 IMDb score tells you it doesn't execute well enough to justify your time. Skip it unless you're specifically hunting silent-era curiosities.

Plot

Patrolman Jim Trent (Jack La Rue) hears the screams of a woman and rushes to her aid in an upstairs apartment. Inside, he is hit on the head and whiskey poured on his uniform. Gangster Louis Cantor (Mathew Betz) and his henchmen have used this ruse to get him off his beat in order to rob a warehouse. The Police Commissioner (DeWitt Jennings), knowing Trent is innocent, suggests he be dismissed from the force and get a job with the gang. At Cantor's swank gambling establishment Trent finds his girlfriend, Molly Malone (Ada Ince), who has been searching for him. With the evidence he has gathered, Trent captures Cantor and calls for the police.
