The Mayor of 44th Street

MEET THE GUT WHO DISHED IT OUT...because he got tired of taking it

This drama follows a former vaudevillian dancer who opens a dance band agency and employs street kids to help them out. The local gang leader opposes his efforts. When the dancer helps a convict secure parole by giving him a job, it is later revealed that the ex-con intends to use the agency as a front for extortion. The film features songs including the Oscar-nominated "When There's a Breeze on Lake Louise," "Your Face Looks Familiar," "Heavenly, Isn't He?" "Let's Forget It," "You're Bad For Me," and "A Million Miles From Manhattan."
