Framed casts Glenn Ford as the drifter with a chip on his shoulder who doesn't make a good impression on his first arrival in town. He takes a job driving a truck with faulty brakes that crashes into Edgar Buchanan's car and gets himself arrested in the process.
A mysterious blond waitress played by Janis Carter pays his fine and gets him out of a 10 day jail sentence. For what she's got in mind, it would have been better if he took the 10 days.
She's the tootsie on the side of Barry Sullivan the Vice President of a local bank by marrying the boss's daughter. He's embezzled a whole lot of cash and wants to run away with Carter. But Carter starts to develop ideas of her own.
This starts the web of a whole lot of double crossing and dirty dealing by the feckless lovers. Framed is a nice little noir film and I love that Maltese Falcon ending.
