Storyline

A public stenographer, taking private dictation, sees a gangster shot in his room and she is taken along by the killers. The gang-chief falls for her, and she plays along to lull his suspicions, and eventually makes an escape. She takes a night-bus back to Los Angeles in order to give testimony that will clear her girl-friend who has been falsely accused of the killing. But the gang pursues her and she has to take over driving the bus when the driver is shot. Written by Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
