The film is about Bill (Grant Withers), a railroad engineer, who falls in love with Lily (Mary Astor), the wife of his co-worker Jack (Regis Toomey). When the two men fight over Lily, Jack is blinded. He dies in a violent storm saving Bill's life. Joan Blondell plays a diner waitress and James Cagney makes his third film appearance in a small role as an engineer. The New York Times described the film as "an unimportant little drama of the railroad yards", but Variety called it "a good program picture." Astor called it "a piece of cheese" in her autobiography, but praised Blondell and Cagney. The film was first released under the title The Steel Highway, and, in 2010, was available on DVD.
