Plot: Carnie owner Buck Rankin marries local girl Helen and plans to go straight, but after a brawl ends up with a twenty-year sentence for manslaughter. When a pregnant Helen vows to wait for him Rankin forges a letter from the warden's office informing Helen that Rankin drowned while attempting to escape. Twenty years later Rankin is released from prison, changes his name to "Duke Sheldon", and eventually becomes a nightclub owner with ties to the mob. Helen has remarried - to a local judge - and daughter Sandra has become a reporter. When it's learned that notoriously camera-shy "Duke Sheldon" will be providing a mobster's alibi at a high-profile trial Sandra is sent to write an exposé. She immediately recognizes Rankin from a photo her mother kept, and father and daughter have a tearful reunion. Now Rankin must decide what to do: testify at the trial, revealing his identity and exposing Helen as an unintentional bigamist. Or refuse to testify, protecting Helen and Sandra but angering the mob.

Jammin to Bob Marley
I'm hangin' out with Farley on a summer night
The jumper hit the pavement
He's looking for the gold medal
And all he got was flower pedals and a lousy bronze
And I know someday
That I will be running for my life
And when that day comes,
I hope that I learn to fly
I know that we can do this,
I know that can groove this,
Oh, this reggae music
From this lousy home
I know that we can do this,
I know that can groove this,
Oh, this reggae music
You better get some while you can
And I know someday
That I will be running for my life
And when that day comes,
I hope that I learn to fly
And I know someday
That I will be running for my life
And when that day comes,
