Playing Around is a 1930 American pre-Code drama film with songs, starring Alice White, Chester Morris and William Bakewell.

The film was produced and distributed by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Alice White plays Sheba Miller, a working-class girl who dreams about living a life of luxury.

Eventually Nickey asks Sheba to marry him, but before they tie the knot, Solomon, who is low on cash, robs a cigar store and in the process shoots the man behind the counter.

Nickey convinces Sheba to continue their date and they drive to the club, but Jack, who suspects that Solomon was behind the robbery, asks the police to help with his entrapment plan.

They manage to get Nickey to unwittingly confess to the crime and convince him to skip town, but they arrest him at the train station before he has a chance to board.
