Together with Gregory Stone (Wheeler Oakman), Ruth Ashley (Betty
Compson) runs an (illegal) escort service, but she is hell-bent to keep
this a secret from her daughter June (Margaret Marquis), whom she sends
away only to the best boarding schools. Keeping the truth from june works
just fine, until Jne comes for a surprise visit with her fiancé Drake
(Robert Kellard), who just happens to be an undercover agent trying to
expose the escort service as a whole. Faced with her daughter, Ruth
immediately wants to quit the business for good, but Gregory figures he
can use the knowledge of Drake being a spy to send him and the whole
district attorney's office on a wild goose chase ... and then he makes the
fatal mistake of fixing it for Drake to meet June and leading him to
believe she is an escort girl - which breaks both Drake's and june's
heart. With June heartbroken, Gregory figures he might just as well get
her drunk and persuade her to work for his agency - which only leads to
Ruth threatening him with a pistol. Meanwhile, Drake has gotten so enraged
that he has beaten the identity of the man behind the whole operation out
of the agency's figurehead (Guy Kingsford), and now he comes to beat
Gregory up ... and just in time too, because Gregory has since gotten hold
of Ruth's gun and ... well, you probably can guess the rest. Ruth is
allowed redemption when she catches a bullet for her daughter by the way. Moral
tale/expose, 1940's style: The plot of this film is not really thought
through and could have needed a rewrite, the ending is rather predictable
and seems to hand out everyone their just desserts - but ironically, the
film isn't half as much interested in its story and its moral than it is
in showing its supporting actresses (the escort girls) parading around in
underwear and in showing a striptease number that was positively revealing
for a 1941 movie. All this makes the film as such a rather hypocritical
affair ... but also lots of fun, of course.
