These Wilder Years

A rich and powerful but lonely steel magnate (James Cagney) embarks upon a search for the son he fathered years before. Obsessed only with furthering his career, he never married the mother and she gave the baby up for adoption. He goes to the woman who runs the adoption agency (Barbara Stanwyck) and asks to see his son's records, but she, not wanting to violate the young man's right to privacy, refuses to show him. Though both the tycoon and the caseworker are attracted to each other, matters turn ugly when he decides to fight the issue out in court.
