A pre-Code crime drama about working-class cab drivers fighting corporate consolidation and intimidation, anchored by a protagonist torn between principle and personal love.

Amidst a backdrop of growing violence and intimidation, independent cab drivers struggling against a consolidated juggernaut rally around hot-tempered Matt Nolan. Nolan is determined to keep competition alive on the streets, even if it means losing the woman he loves.
