Thelma Jordon is in love with a jewel thief, Tony Laredo, and he persuades her to go live with her rich aunt, and steal her jewels. Her aunt gets shot. Cleve Marshall, an assistant district attorney, is assigned the case, promptly falls in love with Thelma (and she with him). And, then, Tony shows up. And nothing, from this point, works out favorable for Thelma, Clive or Tony.
