Event

Successful movie director John L Sullivan (Joel McCrea), convinced he won`t be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to `know trouble` first-hand.

When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion (Veronica Lake), he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.
