She is a chic parole officer with full authority over the pretty parolee (Jane Greer) who is beating her time with Dennis O'Keefe. Lizabeth's determined nobility, especially when given a legitimate chance to send Jane back to prison, is something that neither the script nor Actress Scott can make believable.
