The story

Charismatic roving peddler Hank Martin (James Cagney) falls in love with schoolteacher Verity Wade (Barbara Hale) and soon marries her. On their wedding day, he rents a ramshackle home from his upper-class lawyer friend Jules Bolduc. Hank gathers some of his many friends to fix the place, but Verity begins to realize that he is not as nice as he appears to be; while they do the work, he sees nothing wrong with stopping to read a law book.
