All of them dedicate themselves to work as a unit and to play blues music. The dedication isn\u0027t paying off financially and, while riding the rails in a boxcar, they meet and befriend gangster Del Davis. He offers them a job at a New Jersey roadhouse, where Powell falls in love with Kay Grant, a former \u0027real good friend\u0027 of Davis. But when Powell learns that Character is about to have a baby, he returns to her. Jigger tries to make Kay the band\u0027s singer and, after this fails, runs off with her. She leaves him with nothing but a nervous breakdown. Back at the roadhouse, after his recovery, Kay shows up, has a quarrel with Davis, shoots and kills him, and plans to take back up with Jigger, who knows better but just can\u0027t help himself. While she is waiting in a car for him, along comes cripple Brad Ames, who she put in that condition, and he gets in and drives the car over a cliff, leaving no survivors in the two-passenger crash. The band is back together at the end, still using boxcars as their transportation, but happy playing the blues.","wins":0,"nominations":1,"casts":[{"name":"Priscilla Lane","code":"nm0485509","characters":"Character"},{"name":"Betty Field","code":"nm0275897","characters":"Kay Grant"},{"name":"Richard Whorf","code":"nm0926636","characters":"Jigger Pine"},{"name":"Lloyd Nolan","code":"nm0634313","characters":"Del Davis"},{"name":"Jack Carson","code":"nm0007217","characters":"Leo Powell"},{"name":"Wallace Ford","code":"nm0285922","characters":"Brad Ames"},{"name":"Elia Kazan","code":"nm0001415","characters":"Nickie Haroyan"},{"name":"Peter Whitney","code":"nm0926338","characters":"Pete Bossett"},{"name":"Billy Halop","code":"nm0356890","characters":"Peppi"},{"name":"Howard Da Silva","code":"nm0196247","characters":"Sam Paryas"},{"name":"Joyce Compton","code":"nm0174049","characters":"Blonde"},{"name":"Herbert Heywood","code":"nm0371834","characters":"Brakeman"},{"name":"George Lloyd","code":"nm0515989","characters":"Joe"},{"name":"Charles C.
