Dante's Inferno (1935)

Jim Carter moves in on the McWade's carnival concession
which shows scenes from Dante's "Inferno". He makes it a
going concern, marrying Betting along the way. An inspector
calls the amusement pier unsafe but Carter bribes him. The
pier collapses, leading to the inspector's suicide, injury to Pop
McWade, trial for Carter, and Betty's leaving him. Carter starts
over with an unsafe floating casino.
