James Cagney's latest picture, "The Crowd Roars," is superficially undistinguished. Its story is simple and concerns very ordinary people. Joe Greer, who has become a famous racing driver, returns to his home town to find that the "kid brother" has the same inexplicable passion as himself. Since he cannot persuade Eddie that the life of a racer is not glorious, he takes him back to the city to make a good driver of him. From there on the rather feeble plot describes Greer's attempt to keep the boy away from "women and booze."
