Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Arlene Bradford is the quintessential high society bad girl. She's spoiled by Everett Bradford, her indulgently wealthy San Francisco father, who's recently become totally disgusted by her irresponsible antics. She has little regard for the law and the company she keeps. She has her investment broker fiancé Spencer Carlton involved in a stolen bond racket and flirts with local gangster types including the notorious Jake Bellow. The senior Bradford becomes concerned when Arlene begins to involve her half-sister Valkyr in her shady and highly dangerous activities. Written by duke1029@aol.com |

Spike Smith:
Say, Society, who's the gal dancing with Tony Archie Van Ness: She's the only real Bradford daughter. Arlene's her stepsister. Spike Smith: Say, she must be respectable. I've never seen her before. Archie Van Ness: Say,I've picked Arlene off the blotter for everything from speeding to being picked up in Chinatown raids. Izzy Wright: Oh, that I were young. Archie Van Ness: And old Bradford's got more millions than there were Indians out here when her family landed. See more » |
