Cagney has never given a bet- ter perfermance than his portrayal | of a fresh youth who joins the| Marines because he can't keep out ! of air ships. He gets into the avia-| tion corps through the kindnessl of a Marine officer, played by Pat| O'Brien, and he rewards Pat by| stealing his girl, portrayed by Mnl-: garet Lindsay.
