Sin's Pay Day is a 1932 American pre-Code crime film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Lloyd Whitlock, Dorothy Revier and Mickey Rooney.[1] It was produced on Poverty Row as a second feature.[2] It was later reissued under the alternative title Slums of New York with advertising material devoting greater attention to child actor Rooney, who had since emerged as a star at MGM.
Plot
Attorney Robert Webb makes a good living as a defense lawyer for gangsters. This disgusts his wife, who leaves him and goes to set up a charitable clinic. After getting a notorious mob leader acquitted on a technicality, Webb develops a conscience and turns to alcohol letting his practice collapse. Living on the streets, he is befriended by a boy who helps him gain his self-respect. When the boy is then killed by a bullet fired from a gangster's gun, Webb goes undercover to pose as a defense lawyer once more while secretly recording the incriminating conversation, which he turns over to the police. A reformed man, he and his wife reconcile.
