- James Cagney is at his best as Terry Rooney, a Manhattan bandleader who journeys to Hollywood, where he is offered a lucrative film contract, but he is determined to do things his way and not theirs. Mr. Regan (Gene Lockhart), the head of the studio, believes that Rooney's true lack of desire for stardom is arrogance on the band leaders part.
