He will use any means necessary to win his clients' cases. While in court defending one of his criminal clients, Gene Larkin, he sees a young woman on trial for prostitution, Madge Carter. Knowing her to be framed for the activity by a man who is notorious for “fingering” women in order to get the reward, he defends her for free. He wins her acquittal, after which he gives her a job as his secretary—and his cook. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eduardo_CianelliLeeTracy.CriminalLawyer.1937.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7b/Eduardo_CianelliLeeTracy.CriminalLawyer.1937.jpg" decoding="async" width="193" height="157" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="193" data-file-height="157" /></a><figcaption>Cianelli and Tracy</figcaption></figure> <p>Larkin, thinking that he can control Brandon, uses his influence to get Brandon elected to the district attorney's office. Brandon tells Larkin beforehand that if he becomes a prosecutor he will no longer work for him. He intends to take the job seriously. His zeal for his new position pays off, and soon he is the district attorney. With eyes on the governorship, he becomes romantically involved with Betty Walker, whose father has deep political connections, even though Brandon is in love with Madge. After a night of heavy drinking, Brandon wakes up to find out that he and Betty are married. </p><p>Crushed, Madge goes to Larkin's office late at night to ask him to cash a check for her so she can leave town. On the street, she sees him shoot and kill a rival gangster. He pulls her back into his office, threatens to kill Brandon and expose his earlier nefarious tactics as a defense attorney. He keeps her prisoner until the trial, three weeks later. </p><p>After three weeks of dodging Bandini, Brandon finally sees him. It turns out that Betty wants to marry Bandini. Her father approves and still supports Brandon's bid for governor. Brandon is delighted and says Betty can get an annulment (confirming for the audience that the marriage was never consummated). </p><p>In court, Brandon concludes his prosecution of Larkin. The defense calls a sole, surprise witness: Madge. Madge testifies that Larkin shot in self defense. As Brandon prepares to cross-exam her, Larkin asks if he wants to make Madge a perjurer. Brandon asks a few innocuous questions and returns to his seat, downcast. Larkin laughs maniacally. “That laugh is going to cost you your neck” Brandon says. His cross-examination of Madge exposes the truth about the murder and all the reasons for her perjury. Before Larkin can take the stand, Brandon confesses in open court to his past illegal tactics as a defense attorney. He explains that Larkin laughing “at justice” was the last straw. Eyes locked with Madge's, he declares that he is now free of absolutely everything that held him. She smiles, slightly. He turns his confession over to the grand jury and leaves the courtroom with his arm around Madge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Criminal_Lawyer_(1937_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Lee_Tracy" title="Lee Tracy">Lee Tracy</a> as Barry Brandon</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Margot_Grahame" title="Margot Grahame">Margot Grahame</a> as Madge Carter</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eduardo_Ciannelli" title="Eduardo Ciannelli">Eduardo Ciannelli</a> as Gene Larkin</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Erik_Rhodes_(actor,_born_1906)" title="Erik Rhodes (actor, born 1906)">Erik Rhodes</a> as Tony Bandini</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Betty_Lawford" title="Betty Lawford">Betty Lawford</a> as Betty Walker</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Frank_M._Thomas" title="Frank M.
