Bing Crosby, Madge Evans, Edith Fellows, Louis Armstrong.

"Bing Crosby stars in a sentimental musical drama. In jail on a trumped-up charge, Crosby meets a condemned prisoner, and promises the doomed man to look after his little girl (Edith Fellows) when he gets out. The girl's grandfather (Donald Meek) is also part of the deal, and soon the footloose Crosby finds himself with more responsibilities than he cares to handle. As an added attraction, Pennies From Heaven showcases the matchless talents of Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton"--From allmovie.com website.
