City Streets (1931)

Gary Cooper is an innocent country boy working the shooting gallery at the boardwalk amusement park. Unfortunately, his girlfriend Nan (Sylvia Sydney) is involved in the racketeering business through her family. She begs Coop to come in on the business since he's barely making a living at the carnival. And it's doesn't hurt that he's also quite handy with the gun. However, he refuses to be involved with such shady doings.

When Nan's Uncle uses her to get rid of a murder weapon, she gets caught. Sentenced to time in prison for not ratting out the gangsters, Nan is thankful that Coop never took up her offer to join the mob. Little does she know, her Uncle sought him out and did convince him to fall in with the racketeers for Nan's sake.
