Overview

Hot jewels from London make their way to New York, where they are stolen by racketeer Ed Dexter, who hides them with the help of his vivacious girlfriend, Vivian Palmer.

Viewing Notes

Myrna Loy is great even if not for once she’s believable as a criminal or involved in crime. She’d make a good crime boss but not as an underling like this film.
