Her boyfriend Jimmy Britton decides to go straight, and Mazie agrees to marry him when he convinces her that he can make as much money honestly as illegally. While Jimmy works as a truck driver, Mazie is arrested for shoplifting, but customer Allison Cabot obtains her release and befriends her. Meanwhile, Henry romances Allison, who is actually using him to help clear her lover who is in jail for the disappearance of valuable documents which she suspects are in Henry's possession. Mazie seduces Henry, and with Jimmy's help, recovers the papers. A sympathetic police inspector allows Mazie and Jimmy to go away and begin a new life free of crime. Written by AFI See less
