Wrecking Crew is a 1942 American drama film directed by Frank McDonald and starring Richard Arlen, Jean Parker, and Chester Morris.

While aloft, Matt slips and desperately clings to the edge of the tower, and Duke casually jokes with him before pulling him to safety.

Later, Mike, who took over the business after her husband's death, tells Matt that she has put up a bond to save the company, and that they only have four weeks to bring down the twelve-story building.

The work goes smoothly until Joe accidentally falls to his death down the refuse chute while helping Duke dump a load of bricks.

Soon after, Duke rescues Peggy Starr when she is thrown out of a café for trying to steal money for food, then attempts to jump into the river.

As Matt climbs onto an unsteady girder, a hospital worker informs Mike that after regaining consciousness, Emil named Kemp as being responsible for his injury.

Inspired by the advice, Duke returns to the worksite just as a supporting wall collapses and Matt is trapped under a girder.

Some time later, Matt and Peggy begin their honeymoon at the Empire State Building, and Duke nearly falls off while he is kidding around with Mike.
