What starts off decently quicky disintegrates into a convoluted mess of political intrigue, a senator's shooting and an undercover government agent's prison stay to get information in regards to a racket concerning...you guessed it, missing girls. The first scenes set up the sudden decision of young Ann Doran's decision to run away after her overly strict father slaps her for disobeying his ridiculous demands. Her efforts to find a job leads her to senator's daughter Madge Evans who hires her as a maid to prevent her from finding a less noble way of making money.
When Evans' father is shot over his efforts to clean up the city, Pryor takes it upon himself to take desperate measures, leading to Evans and Doran ending up kidnapped by the criminals and held by prickly Vera Lewis, just one of many variations of Ma Barker. It's a total letdown that after the first ten minutes changes to typical crime cliches and ends with no surprises.
