This delightful precode caper comedy follows the antics of a lady jewel thief who keeps the police on her case, knowing her name but not what she looks like. As played by Gertrude Michael, she's a beautiful sophisticated with a seemingly classy aunt (Alison Skipworth) who acts as a distraction as the usually disguised Michael makes her move. It's up to a former thief, now special investigator (Paul Cavanaugh) to identify her, but he finds himself romancing her, unaware of her identity...or maybe not!
Cleverly written and ingeniously plotted, this lead to two followups where Michael used her womanly wiles to get her hands on some expensive gems. Arthur Bryon as the police inspector and Leon Errol as a bumbling, physical fitness obsessed officer aide Cavanaugh even though they are suspicious of his own motivations. Snappy and short, this rushes by, never a full moment. It has all the look of an A film, and in many cases, is even better than many an A film released during this time. Thank the precode era for that, and thumb your nose at Will Hays for taking away the punch in the follow- ups.
