Synopsis

Slimy American con man Nicky and his girl Laura Nash (Ricardo Cortez & Karen Morley) are in a German jail. Laura is released but has no means to free Nicky until she stumbles into the beer garden of Mr. Herman (Jean Hersholt). About to be arrested for vagrancy, she is befriended by the giant champion wrestler (and waiter) Polakai (Wallace Beery). Although touched by Polakai's child-like innocence, Laura maneuvers him into offering money to get her "brother" Nicky out of jail.
