Wreckless (1935)

In her film debut, Patricia Morison played the doe eyed daughter (Mary Jane) who yearned for a young car salesman that was regularly getting into scrapes with the law. Her father forbid her to have anything to do with him, unless she could prove he was worthy as a man and as a car salesman. He then calls her saying he is in jail for driving wrecklessly, and she rushes over.
