Lady Killer is a 1933 American pre-Code crime drama film starring James Cagney, Mae Clarke, and Margaret Lindsay, based on the story "The Finger Man" by Rosalind Keating Shaffer.

After being fired as a theater usher for gambling and other issues, Dan Quigley tracks down Myra Gale to her apartment and returns the purse she dropped.

Dan stages a car accident so a passing "doctor" can persuade Mrs. Marley to let him rest for a while in her nearby mansion.

On his fourth day of work, he meets star Lois Underwood and is surprised to find her friendly, even to a lowly extra.

Meanwhile, National Studio head Ramick is looking for fresh, "rough and ready" faces, as the public is tiring of handsome stars.

In spite of the protests of the studio bigwigs, Lois adamantly intends to pay Dan's bail and stand by him.

After a car chase and gunfight, the thieves are either dead or in custody, Dan is exonerated and he asks the authorities to guarantee leniency for Myra.

The film received mixed reviews at the time of its release, as reflected in a collection of excerpts published in The Hollywood Reporter: the World-Telegram called it "a sprightly, more or less daring, thoroughly entertaining film," while less favorable reviewers dismissed it as "premeditated hokum" and "more a collection of jokes than a sustained narrative."
