Le Pantin brisé
Le crooner de boîte de nuit de l'époque de la prohibition, Joe E. Lewis, voit sa carrière et presque sa vie écourtée lorsque sa gorge est tranchée en guise de récompense pour avoir quitté l'emploi du chef de la mafia de Chicago, Georgie Parker. Alcoolique épuisé, Joe est ramené des abysses par son fidèle pianiste, Austin Mack, qui contribue à faire de l'ancien chanteur un humoriste à succès. Mais les démons de Joe affligent sa vie amoureuse alors même qu'il atteint de nouveaux sommets de succès.
