24 Hours is all it takes for tippling married man Jim Towner (Clive Brook)
to go from social respectability to convict stripes. Upset that his wife
Fanny (Kay Francis) has been unfaithful, the wealthy Jim weaves
drunkenly from one nightclub to another. He falls for a cabaret performer
(Miriam Hopkins) and begins an affair. The girl is killed by her gangster
boyfriend (Regis Toomey), but Jim is arrested for the crime. Released
from prison, the chastened Jim returns to his wife, who has vowed to
remain loyal to her husband. 24 Hours was based on a novel by Louis
Bromfield.
