Short description

Kleptomaniac Dorothy Lyons is paroled from prison into the custody of her sister June, secretary to "reform" politician Frank Jansen. Ben Grace, associate of crime boss Sol "Solly" Caspar, sees this as a way to smear Jansen's campaign. Seductive Dorothy will do anything to get what she wants, which includes having a good time with Ben-- whom June is now in love with.

What's left behind the scenes

Arleen Dahl (1925-2021) suggested to Rhonda Fleming (1923-2020) that they play cards to determine whose name would be listed first on the posters. Dahl won the game, and she also insisted that Fleming's surname appear first in the credits. Fleming was very touched by this, and the actresses became close friends.
