The Dragnet (1928)
Tough von Sternberg gangster film about a dedicated cop who goes on a binge after being led to believe he accidentally killed his partner in a shoot-out with Powell's gang. The frame-up, however, is revealed to him by Powell's moll - a girl to whom he is attracted. This sobers him enough to clean up the gang and marry the girl who is wounded in the battle.
