What happens

Sin's Pay Day is a 1932 American pre-Code crime film directed by George B. Seitz and starring Lloyd Whitlock, Dorothy Revier and Mickey Rooney. It was produced on Poverty Row as a second feature. It was later reissued under the alternative title Slums of New York with advertising material devoting greater attention to child actor Rooney, who had since emerged as a star at MGM.
