Film Summary:

Down-and-out Danny Alverez (John Garfield) gets lucky when he discovers that he's inherited two vacant houses in a small seaside California town. His two friends, Pilon (Spencer Tracy) and Pablo (Akim Tamiroff), are eager to take advantage of the situation by moving into one of the houses. However, when the house burns down, Pilon feels guilty and decides to help Danny get his life together and earn the affection of Dolores (Hedy Lamarr), a local woman with whom Danny is smitten.
