Blondie Johnson (Joan Blondell) is struggling in the midst of the Great Depression after losing her job. Her beloved mother dies from bad accommodations. She has no options left. She is determined to get lots of money and is willing to get it with her brains in criminal ways. She is approached by gangster Danny Jones (Chester Morris).
This is a female centric gangster flick. It's a minority in that sense. The dame's in charge. That's worth a pretty penny. She does need to do more gun play. Without more action, the tension falters somewhat. It leans a bit too much on the romantic melodrama.
