Storyline
Racketeer Tony Gazotti is thankful that lawyer Jackson Durant helps him beat a murder rap, but Durant just does it for the thrill of it and refuses payment. Durant's defense of mobsters causes his firm to disown him and his girlfriend Sue to leave him. But when young Tom Siddell, Sue's new boyfriend, is framed for a murder, she is the first to come asking for Durant's help. Durant uses Gazotti's information network and the help of new girlfriend Gertie Waxted to find that rival gangster Jim Grelliman is involved in the framing of Siddell. When Durant sends Gertie to Grelliman's apartment in a bid to blow open the case, she is walking on thin ice. Written by Gary Jackson <garyjack5@cogeco.ca>

Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, why didn't you yell?
Gertie Waxted: I didn't want to spoil your beauty sleep.
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Oh, thoughtful as well as alluring, eh?
Gertie Waxted: Alluring?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, do you doubt it?
Gertie Waxted: Well, I did last night. I didn't exactly have to fight for my honor. A few more weeks of this and I'll be out of condition. Say, are you still in love with someone, or are you just decent?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Maybe I think you're decent.
Gertie Waxted: A girl who comes into a man's apartment at night?
Jackson 'Jack' Durant: Well, you might have come here just to look at the Chrysler Building.

Continuity: When Gertie stands looking out Durant's apartment window, her left arm is up with her hand on her head but, when the shot changes to see her from the front, her arm is down and her hand is resting against the window frame. See more »Quotes
