Trucker Eddie Kennedy gets involved with the law when he has an car accident with Ann Reid and knocks the owner of a dairy out. He evades a penalty when he claims, that he had done it as an act of solidarism with the farmers. The farmers start an boycott action against this dairy, so the owner has to bring milk from elsewhere to his dairy, but the farmers closed the road, and Kennedy is arrested once more. He leaves jail at night to meet Ann, but meanwhile the owner has asked some mobsters to deliver the milk. One of the farmers is murdered, Ann Reid is missing and Eddie Kennedy is accused of murder.

"James Cagney plays the role of Eddie Kennedy, a Chicago truck driver. His best friend, Buck, is played by Allan Jenkins. After a delivery route take- over by a shady company, the two drivers find themselves in a small town, where Eddie falls for the ice cold café owner Anne Reid, played by Patricia Ellis. Eddie and Buck end up in hot water when Eddie is framed for murder. Just as you would expect from a Cagney film, there are a lot of snappy one-liners, and quick dialogue.
