    Storyline

    Edit
    Gun moll Nan Taylor, caught after an otherwise successful bank robbery, falls for radio crusader David Slade and confides her guilt to him. Much to her surprise, he turns her in. As a "new fish" at San Quentin, Nan fits right in, but won't see Slade, who still loves her. Then she learns that her former partners in crime, Don and Dutch, are on the other side of the wall in the men's section...and have an escape plan. —Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Film has some rather blatant and oddball plugs for Warner Brothers stars. In several scenes photos of Joe E. Brown (whom Lillian Roth sings to) and Dick Powell are seen in the women's cells.
    • Goofs
      When Linda meets Nan, they stroll down a path through the prison yard. It's clear that the background of the path is projection footage as there is gusty wind violently whipping a tree and shrubbery around, yet their hair doesn't move.

    8/10
    Very good early Stanwyck drama reminds she's so good at being bad.
    This is a fine example of the Barbara Stanwyck fans would come to know in future years. Her role is tough as nails (remember this production is pre -code) and no-nonsense but still smooth and sexy. One of the best of Stanwyck's early work.
