Synopsis
Mac, a New York gunman and bootlegger, saves the life of a down-and-out singer named Joan; and taking a liking to her, he gives her a job in his cabaret. Meanwhile, attracted by the folksy Christmas column of newspaperman George Graham, Joan is persuaded to join him in visiting his Aunt Maggie and Uncle Joe, who mistake them for a married couple. But Mac learns of the incident and takes her away from the country retreat. Later, Graham expresses his faith in Joan and confronts Mac at the cabaret, demanding that he be allowed to see her. Learning of a plot by a rival bootleg faction to kill him, Mac goes to shoot it out with the gang and dies, giving the young couple his blessing.
