Bob Simms (Lloyd Nolan) accompanies fraudster Ace (John Hodiak) to prison via Mexico and New Orleans. They share their journey with Ricki (Lucille Ball), another fraudster who is up to tricks of her own. Ricki and Ace fall in love but fellow crook Fly (Elisha Cook Jnr) is tracking her and wants something from her. The film builds to it's climax at Mardi Gras..........everyone gets what they deserve....
This film is quite boring. Nothing really happens and the whole Mardi Gras sequence drags on and on and isn't at all interesting. It provides one good moment when Ricki steals the cook book behind Fly's back. The cast are OK but Elisha Cook Jnr is as awful as always - he is a very unconvincing tough guy. More like a pip-squeek. The love affair between Ace and Ricki is also a bit suspect. The film is watchable and ticks by but when it finishes, it leaves you with a feeling of absolutely nothing. The film is OK if a little dull. No need to see it again.
