The Big Break

Overview

Marty is a shipping clerk in the garment district and a wise guy trying to cut corners and get by on angles, and not very good at it. He meets Helen and decides to change his ways, but lack of patience in slow-progress jobs leads him to become involved with a neighborhood gang.
