Bonnie is a spoiled, young socialite who must face the real world when her wealthy father has a heart attack during the stock market crash and the family loses its fortune. She rejects marrying her boyfriend Bob because she thinks he's doing it out of pity. Instead, she takes a job as a newspaper reporter. Bonnie's brother Rodney opts for a less legitimate route; he works as a bootlegger for Jake, a notorious gangster. When a rival gang of hooch peddlers are gunned down by Jake's boys, Rodney leaks information about it to Ben, a reporter at his sister's newspaper. Threatened with his own life by Jake, Rodney is forced to kill Ben for writing the story. Bonnie's editor assigns her to the story and she goes undercover to crack the case. She poses as a dancer in a nightclub frequented by Jake to get close to him. Only then does she learn about her brother's role in the messy affair... and Rodney must pay a price for working on the wrong side of the law. [More]
