The Life of Jimmy Dolan

Directed by Archie Mayo
Stranger Than Fiction! It starts with a wallop, sweeps from one thrilling love-scene to the next...then amazingly reveals why this public idol HAD to lead a double life!

Champion boxer Jimmy Dolan has cultivated a wholesome image for himself, but he's a boozer and womanizer behind the scenes. Intoxicated at a party, he punches a reporter who threatens to expose his hypocrisy, and accidentally kills him. Dolan panics and skips town, winding up on a farm that serves as a home for disabled children run by kindhearted Peggy. As the cynical Dolan falls for Peggy, he begins to change his ways.
