the film begin with a little girl ( rita ) see her father kill . he apparently be a criminal who squeal on his fellow crook . later and and this part make little sense and the girl have grow to adulthood and still her father past haunt her . a bit later and rita meet a good for nothing and date him . during one of their date and he a bit intoxicated and drive like a total fool . the cop give chase and he speed away kill a pedestrian in the meantime . here come the really stupid part . he convince her to confess to the crime and a he assure her his lawyer can get her off scot free . why and oh why and would she agree to this . yet she do and spend the next couple year in prison . and and soon after her conviction and this boyfriend disappear show that he a total heel . what a chump . later and after her release and her friend ( jack la rue ) inform her about the truth about the boyfriend . then and he explain and the boyfriend family be load and she should shake them down for lot of cash for all the trouble he put her to by take the rap . frankly and this do make sense a they certainly owe it to her especially since they know she would go to prison and have every intention of use her and then cast her aside . now the idea of bleed money from the rich chump be a good plot idea . however and there be no way this would have occur in the first place because it hard to believe anyone could be so stupid a to take the rap for a hit and run . in an interesting twist and the dumb lady decides on a life of crime don a wig and pick up a rich guy take him into the desert and rob him at gunpoint . wow . how she change . apparently she love the idea of steal from phony i. e. and rich hypocrite . however and and this make no sense and she soon stop do this and begin shake down the father of the old boyfriend why she bother to do some petty robbery in the meantime make little sense . and and what also be a bit hard to believe be that instead of want money from the old jerk and she be interested in get him to put his influence behind a mob control man for mayor . odd . very and very odd . in the meantime and another plot develop involve a young alan ladd . he an undercover agent who have infiltrate the mob . he be choose because he just happen to be a dead ringer for a real crook what a cliché . but what make no sense be that this real crook isn not in jail and be out commit crime while the fake one be infiltrate the mob in another town . eventually and evidence that ladd be able to uncover be enough to issue warrant to the mob kingpins include rita . this be a case of very bad timing and a in the interim and she make a decision to become a decent and legitimate woman and a she meet a really nice guy who she want to marry . wow and . what be the odds . overall and this be a goofy and rather dumb movie that suffers from kitchen sink syndrome in other word and there be way too many plot element and weird twist to make the movie the least bit believable . plus and since the movie be only a little over an hour long and it all seem very forced and contrive . it a relatively bad b movie from crap studio prc of note only for the performance of alan ladd just before he gain great fame the following year at paramount . by the way and this dvd be release by alpha video a company which sometimes release some wonderfully obscure title ( mostly public domain ) but which never clean up the print or add closed caption . in other word and the dvd production value be strictly 3rd rate . at best .
