The film is known for its depiction of the rough-and-tumble atmosphere of New York City's Bowery neighborhood during the late 19th century and its portrayal of colorful characters and their exploits.
The story of "The Bowery" is set in the late 1890s and follows the character of Chuck Connors, played by Wallace Beery, a brash and boisterous saloon owner who runs a popular establishment on the Bowery.
