Storyline
Plot Summary |
Dan Barr is a flatfoot on the trail of jewel robbers. Eve Fallon is his girl of 5 years. We meet them spitting and sparring, but never doubting they're in love. Eve is a manicurist, with an eye for news. Soon after we meet her, she's out of the beauty salon and into the news-room as an ace reporter. With Eve's help, Dan nabs one of the jewel gang members, Cortig, whose stray bullet killed a baby in the park. A spooked witness and a slick lawyer get Cortig off. Disgusted with the lack of justice, Dan quits the force to find his own justice. Eve, likewise, quits the paper and returns to her job as manicurist. While giving a manicure, Eve unwittingly discovers that a prominent local citizen is the jewel gang's leader. All the while, Dan is hot on the trail. Their trails merge and the case is solved.

Did You Know?
Trivia | At 20 minutes, Eve Fallon (Joan Bennett) says to Danny Barr (Cary Grant), with a flirtatious wink, "if you happen to be around my way, come up and see me some time". This appears to refer to a famous, almost identical line said by Mae West to Cary Grant in "She Done Him Wrong" (1933), a playful in-joke that would have been obvious to contemporary audiences.

Quotes |
Richard Morey:
Cortig, if you bought a gift for a girl and she refused to accept it, what would you do? Russ Cortig: [with a slow smile] I'd give it to my wife. See more » |
