Blackie (Chester Morris) and the Runt (George Stone) have gone to the prison to do a holiday program for the inmates. Adele Mara's brother is in prison. He was double-crossed by a couple of small-time thieves. She is not allowed to visit because she has already had her quote for the month, but Blackie agrees to sneak her in. Inspector Faraday (Richard Lane) stops their bus to go along, and he spots Mara, but does nothing about it. Mara's brother (Joe Parks) ties up the clown and take his place in order to make his escape. Blackie spots him, but Parks makes his escape after they get back to the theater. Blackie finds him at Mara's home, and Parks overpower him and steals his clothes. Blackie goes out to find him before he can get to the men who framed him.
However, before he can leave, Lane and his assistant, Walter Sande, show up. Lane leaves Sande guarding them and they escape. They go to the apartment of the man who framed Parks, but the man is already dead. They hide Parks just before Lane and Sande come in. But Blackie and the Runt slip Parks onto the stretcher and the ambulance attendants carry him out. They also escape from the police and lead them on a merry chase through town. They go to see Cy Kendall to get information about Paul Fix, the doublecrosser. They find him. He confesses to the killing, but grabs Mara and threatens to kill her. He makes his getaway and steals a car, but the police arrive and shoot him.
