The Informer (1935)

Gypo, a big simple lug, wants to get some money to take his girl away from a life of poverty in Ireland. When his friend, on the lam for murder as part of the Irish rebellion, shows up in town, Gypo sees an easy way to make that money: by informing and collecting the bounty. The problem is, he can't cope with the guilt -- nor can he stop spreading his newfound wealth all over the town.

There's really not much to this. If Gypo had an ounce of sense, he would've gotten away with it. But he's so dumb and willing to accuse others of his crime that it's pretty difficult to root for him.
