Ann (Kay Francis), currently married to wealthy Schuyler Brooks (Henry Kolker), suddenly hears from her ex-husband, Maurice (Monroe Owsley), that he never completed the divorce proceedings and now wants hush money. Schuyler's sister (Helen Ware) advises Ann to sail to Cuba, thinking that Maurice will follow and then, since he is not American, be unable to re-enter the United States. However, Schuyler, jealous that Ann is traveling without him, sends detective Neil (George Brent) to follow her.

Russ G I've been a sucker for these 70 minute B movies featuring the lovely Kay Francis since I saw her in Mandalay. This isn't one of her best but it's passable. She's charming, George Brent is handsome but wooden, and the ubiquitous Allen Jenkins plays his usual dimwitted mug for comic relief. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Steve D Decent because of Francis. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Audience Member another good early weepie or women's pic Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
