Summaries. Two friends, who are members of a road crew employed by a Los Angeles power company, battle the elements to restore electrical power, and trade punches over the same woman. Hank McHenry and Johnny Marshall work on a road crew for a power company. In a freak accident, Hank is injured and is promoted to foreman of the gang.
Manpower as the title suggests is a man's film, about men doing manly things, and their manly relationships seen through the male lens.. George Raft gives Edward G. Robinson's character advice on women, and then shortly afterwards there is a locker room scene, which is perhaps bearable because the dialogue has a certain old world charm.
