The Roaring Twenties is set in the decade following the end of World War I, and follows the lives of three soldiers struggling to find new roles in the world after the Axis forces are defeated. Unable to land a steady job following the war, Eddie Bartlett (James Cagney), a cab driver, joins forces with friends George Hally (Humphrey Bogart), and Lloyd Hart (Jeffrey Lynn) to form a bootlegging operation on the suggestion of speakeasy owner Panama Smith (Gladys George) which creates a life of luxury and power - but at what price? Trouble arises as the years of prohibition lead to corruption and violence, and Jean Sherman (Priscilla Lane), Eddie's former pen-pal, becomes involved. |
