Overview
Beau Nash is a “gentleman crook” who headquarters his gang of jewel thieves in a run-down boardinghouse. When one of his gang, Mike, gets arrested, his sister Claire—aka “Lady Byron”—swears to get revenge. The gang frames Donald, the best friend of the detective who arrested Mike, for a jewelry store robbery. The detective gives Donald—and his new love, Claire—a short time to find the thieves and clear his name before he takes him in.
