Johnny One-Eye was adapted from one of Damon Runyon's lesser-known stories. Martin Martin and Dane Cory were former partners in crime who have long since split up. When a new district attorney puts the heat on Cory anxious to save his own hide accuses Martin of an unsolved murder. Holed up in abandoned house Martin is befriended by a little girl and her dog. It so happens that the girl is the daughter of the crusading DA and thereby hangs the rest of this tale.
