Frisco Kid is a 1935 film directed by Lloyd Bacon and starring James Cagney.The setting is 1854 San Francisco, when it was still something of a Wild West town. Bat Morgan (Cagney) is a sailor who comes off his ship with ideas of heading for the gold fields. Instead, he is shanghaied by some goons at a sleazy bar, conked on the head and hauled off to another ship—except that Bat comes to and overpowers the guy rowing him out to the ship. He then hands over his kidnapper and the kidnapper's next victim, for $500.Bat gets a job as a bouncer and assistant to Morra (Ricardo Cortez), the owner of a crooked casino. But Bat has ambition and decides to start his own casino, one that will be classier and appeal to the moneyed sort rather than the lowlifes who hang out at Morra's. Part of his motivation is to win the affections of Jean Barrat (Margaret Lindsay), the lovely young lady who owns a newspaper—a newspaper that is crusading against the very vice and corruption that fund Bat's growing empire.No relation to the 1979 film The Frisco Kid starring Gene Wilder. | |

Wretched Hive | |
| Frisco Kid / int_40cbee83 | comment |
Wretched Hive: An opening title card pronounces San Francisco "THE WICKEDEST CITY IN THE WORLD"—well, the Barbary Coast, anyway, where crime runs rampant and the law cannot reach. | |

| Frisco Kid / int_71bf37e3 | comment |
Vigilante Militia: Ford's murder leads the respectable citizens of San Francisco to form a vigilante mob to clean up the coast once and for all. They lynch Morra and Daley and burn down the gambling halls, and they almost lynch Bat before Jean shows up and saves him. | |

Press-Ganged | |
| Frisco Kid / int_7ccd2f10 | comment |
Press-Ganged: The demand for sailors is so high that captains happily pay $250 a head for men who are drugged or knocked out and shanghaied into service. Bat is nearly shanghaied, but he manages to turn the tables on his kidnapper and turn over both the kidnapper and the next victim to be shanghaied. | |

Hook Hand | |
| Frisco Kid / int_c25bfd17 | comment |
Hook Hand: "Shanghai Duck", the lowlife who is so busy shanghai-ing other sailors that it's part of his name, has a hook for a right hand. He has a habit of killing people with it and nearly kills Bat, but Bat wins the fight and kills the Duck. | |

Bad Guy Bar | |
| Frisco Kid / int_e069fae8 | comment |
Bad Guy Bar: The Occidental, a sleazy dive bar where sailors are drugged and shanghaied as part of a continuing operation. The Occidental sits right on the pier, with stairs leading down to the beach where unconscious sailors are dumped before they're hauled away. | |

Red-Light District | |
| Frisco Kid / int_fcd46998 | comment |
Red Light District: The Barbary Coast, a kingdom of theft, kidnapping, gambling dens, prostitution (although that's only hinted at), and murder. Bat thinks the Barbary Coast has to clean itself up a bit to stop the reform-minded citizens of San Francisco from doing it for them. | |
