    I Like The Players, But It's A Paint-By-Numbers Script

    Dorothy Wilson goes to see her manager at the department store, Francis Sayles, as ordered. He says she's been stealing underwear, but if she'll sleep with him, he won't mention it to anyone. She denies the theft, and shoves him away. He falls out the window, so she flees to her friend, Gwen Lee, and meets Charles Starrett, who eventually turns out to be the son of the owner of the department store she worked in.

    Well, we all know how this turns out, and there are few surprises in this Poverty Row drama. The performances are pretty good under the direction of Frank Strayer, but the lack of surprises in the script leave this without much interest to the casual viewer. With Guin 'Big Boy' Williams, Holmes Herbert, Barbara Rogers, and Lew Kelly.
