You can stream You Can't Get Away with Murder (1939) on Max with a subscription.

Johnnie learns crime from petty thug Frank Wilson. When Wilson kills a pawnbroker with a gun stolen from Johnnie's sister Madge's fiance Fred Burke, Fred goes to Sing Sing's death house. Wilson uses all the pressure can to keep Johnnie silent, even after he and Johnnie themselves wind up in the big house.

Johnnie finds himself trapped between a growing criminal mentor and the crushing weight of a wrongful death sentence. This early noir proves that a single stolen weapon can spiral a young boy into a nightmare of blackmail and prison walls.
