The Miracle Woman
Following her father's dismissal, Florence Fallon (Barbara Stanwyck) assumes leadership of his church where shady promoter Bob Hornsby recognizes her potential as a faith healer. Lured by the money, Florence plays along as Hornsby hires shills to pretend they've been healed, until meeting blind veteran John Carson causes her to have second thoughts. Facing criminal charges, Hornsby threatens Florence with exposure unless she runs away with him. Though John tries to restore her faith by pretending that he can see again, she's determined to confess, until a fight leaves Hornsby electrocuted and sparks a fire that destroys the church, forcing Florence to help lead a panicked congregation to safety before John saves her from the flames.

Samfunnets fiende
James Cagney skapte sin karriere-definerende rolle i William Wellmans klassike gangsterfilm, også med Jean Harlow, Mae Clarke og Hoan Blondell i hovedrollene. Filmen, som ble nominert til en Oscar for beste manus, skildrer opp- og nedturen til forbudstidens gangster Tom Powers. Fra hans barndom, som ble ødelagt av ølhaller, biljardhaller og falske venner, til hans voksenliv som håndlanger for den nådeløse, men anstendige spritsmugleren Paddy Ryan, stiger Tom til toppen, med alt som hører til suksess: skreddersydde dresser, fancye biler og flotte jenter. Men skjebnen tar snart Tom ned en annen vei. Tommys degenerering fra tøff gutt til ond kjeltring vises tydelig i en berømt scene der han knuser en grapefrukt i ansiktet til sin siste elskerinne (Mae Clarke).
