Plot

Mark Hampton from the district attorney's office investigates a shooting outside the nightclub of gangster Nicky Bowman and questions Beverly Brent, the club's piano player. Beverly's real name is Joan Grey, but she uses a pseudonym to avoid damaging the reputation of her father, a college professor, by her association with criminals, including boyfriend Steve London.

Gun moll Francie White double-crosses boyfriend Sam Clarke, who is killed while Steve absconds with $100,000 of Sam's proceeds from an armored-car heist. When the bags are switched, Beverly is unaware that she now has the stolen money. When it is found at the professor's home, Steve is shot by police and Beverly is placed under arrest and sent to prison.

Francie is behind bars for another crime. She persuades Beverly to escape but then betrays her, informing Bowman. In the nick of time, Hampton comes to the rescue, having developed a romantic interest in Beverly.
