The Criminal Code

In this gripping 1931 pre-Code romantic crime drama film, a young man named Robert Graham is convicted of manslaughter after a drunken brawl and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Six years later, he's given a chance at redemption when the warden who put him away, Mark Brady, hires him as his chauffeur. As Robert tries to clean up his act and start anew, he's faced with an impossible choice that could send him back to prison - all while navigating the complexities of his relationship with the warden's beautiful daughter and the loyalty he owes to his fellow inmates.
