High and Low
Directed by Allan DwanJim Calvin, son of the rich mill owner, was like many of his friends, good for advice, but weak on execution. He wouldn't work until he enjoyed a good heart-to-heart with his father. Ralph Carrington, the foreman, caught Jimmy smoking - an unpardonable offense - so he "fired" Jimmy on the spot. Hanging about the lumber yard was one-armed Bergen, a former victim of the sharp Calvin saws. He saw Jimmy and they plotted mischief, for Jimmy was denied his home. One-armed Bergen and Jimmy met behind a fence one night and attempted an assault upon foreman Carrington. The latter with the aid of a policeman, subdued them, passed some change to Mr. Policeman and took them home. Then Calvin repented and sent for his son and Carrington, easy to forgive gave one-armed Bergen and Jimmy a job in the lumber yard. It marked a turning point.
