A cop sends up his sweetheart. The plot thickens from there, because she had threatened to kill him and her defense lawyer. However, she comes to him when she has no place to stay, and he helps her get a job. He is bitter because she betrayed his confidence. She is bitter because she claims innocence and thinks he has only a cop's hard heart. But they re-fall in love, until she is accused of murder, and the evidence points to her guilt. He arrests her; she knocks him out and flees. He pursues her, but at the last minute evidence comes forth that she did not do it. And, they live happily ever after - of course.
Preston Foster was a low-key tough guy actor with a softer side to his personality that came off very well.
The female lead in the movie went by the simple stage name of Belita, but in fact her full name was Maria Belita Gladys Olive Lyne Jepson-Turner. Not difficult to see why she shortened it. She competed in the 1936 Olympics in ice skating.
Very nice music for what is essentially a B picture, but well done and worth watching nonetheless.
HERE is a youtube spot of Belita skating.
