A wartime flick... released in april of 1942. One quick reference to hitler. When a gang pulls a bank holdup, they use a stolen dog and a pretty young thang to get into the bank. Of course, she proclaims her innocence, but no-one believes her. And when she hooks up with a local politician, she confesses. But that's all she tells. She refuses to say where the money is or who else was involved. So it's off to prison for her. Faye emerson, julie bishop.... a small role for jackie gleason, years before he was ralph kramden in the honeymooners. Men in drag, deaf annie reading lips. It gets rather silly; when dot escapes, hijinx ensue. And everyone seems to forget that she's an escaped prisoner. Anyway... it's all very 1940s. And they lived happily ever after! Directed by robert florey. It's pretty good... a sixty two minute B film from warner brothers.
