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.

Post-screening there will be a moderated conversation with Peter McCrea, son of actor Joel McCrea by host Susan Granger.

Peter McCrea, is Founder and Chairman of SDG Global Investments, LLC. He also serves as President of American Impact Capital, LLC, providing advisory services to philanthropists. Previously, he was Senior Vice President at American Endowment Foundation, Business Development Advisor at Foundation Source, and Chairman of the Livelihoods Council at Save the Children.
