after getting hot gist about a Chicago mob that had bribed its way
into Palm City and refusing to be bribed into silence.
After serving his term,he promises not to be a sucker again,but he
can't land a good job. He steals from the handbag of a rich woman,Rhea
Malroux,who "employs" him instead of getting him arrested. She hires
him to "kidnap" her stepdaughter Odette in order to get money from her
husband,Mr Malroux. His share is to be $5o,ooo out of the $45o,ooo to
be demanded.
Harry later gets a proper job with the police after agreeing to the deal.
The plan is hatched,but Rhea has other plans. She switches Malroux's
suitcases at the last minute so that he takes a suitcase containing
cut newspapers to Harry. Rhea's lover,O'Reilly, strangles Odette in
Harry's cabin before his arrival...
Eventually,the police make a suprise visit on Rhea and overhear her
confessions and O'Reilly's firsthand. O'Reilly is shot dead by the
police,Rhea gets a 15-year jail term while Harry gets a suspended
5-year jail term.
