Riffraff

Dutch (Spencer Tracy) is a fisherman, and Hattie (Jean Harlow) works at the cannery in a small town on the California coast. The two get married, but Dutch's union activities backfire and the couple are soon living in poverty. Angry and ashamed, Dutch abandons Hattie, and she takes up with Nick (Joseph Calleia), a boss at the factory. But Hattie's love for Dutch never dies, and they both struggle to overcome their fiery personalities so they can reconcile.
