The story

thumb|Mickey Knox and John Derek in Knock on Any Door Against the wishes of his law partners, slick talking lawyer Andrew Morton takes the case of Nick Romano, a troubled punk from the slums, partly because he himself came from the same slums and partly because he feels guilty for his partner botching the criminal trial of Nick's father years earlier. Nick is on trial for shooting a policeman point-blank and faces execution if convicted. Nick's history is presented through flashbacks showing him as a hoodlum committing one petty crime after another.
