Sworn Enemy [1936] [DVD]

A dark movie that, had it been made a few years later, would have been a film noir. It begins with Robert Young's character looking for a job. He can't get one because gangsters insist that he pay protection money that exceeds his potential salary.

He hooks up with the appealing Florence Rice and her boss, who runs the company where he'd been looking for a job. Her father is released from prison and all become involved in a crime-busting plan. Nat Pendleton as a loyal boxer is at his very best here. He is portrayed as likable, strong, and attractive. ~ imdb
