Man to Man (1930)

Nearly two decades ago, John Bolton engaged in a deadly face-off with his brother Joe's murderer. The aftermath saw his adversary dead and John imprisoned, a chain of events that sent ripples through his family. Fast forward to the present, and we find his son Mike, a shining college track star whose life takes an abrupt turn when his fraternity uncovers his father's dark history. Driven by shame, Mike abandons his university life and returns to their hometown, Hardinsville. In Hardinsville, limited job opportunities lead Mike to the doors of the local bank. Here, he attracts the attention of Emily, a fellow employee, sparking a rivalry with Vint who also has romantic designs on Emily. Life takes another twist when John, having been paroled by the Governor, re-enters the town. Despite the older townsfolk's belief that John was justified in his actions, Mike wrestles with feelings of disgrace, avoiding his father at all costs. In a cruel twist of fate, Mike finds himself accused of misplacing $2000 from the bank, and he can't shake off the suspicion that his recently paroled father might be involved. Despite his doubts, he finds himself unable to confront his father, setting the stage for a dramatic exploration of familial bonds, personal honor, and the struggle to reconcile with the past.
