Man's Castle (1933)


12 million Americans are out of work. Trina is homeless
and hungry when Bill takes her under his wing, showing her
a squatter's camp where she can live. She's soon in love with
him, making a castle for him inside a shack; but he's bluff, gruff,
and a "bindlestiff," a guy who can't stay put. When Trina tells
Bill she's pregnant, he's ready to jump a freight train and move
on, but first he wants to leave Trina with some money, so he
partners up with Bragg, the camp's louse (who's been eyeing Trina),
to rob a toy store. He's shot and the cops are closing in: does he
have any options?
