What happens

Father and Son is a lost 1934 British crime film directed by Monty Banks and starring Edmund Gwenn, Esmond Knight and James Finlayson. It was written by Randall Faye from the story "Barber John's Boy" by Ben Ames Williams, and made at Teddington Studios as a quota quickie. The same story had also been adapted for the 1930 American film Man to Man. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
