Yvonne Butler; Harry Rivers; Mrs. Butler; Bill Vail; Mike; Rex White; Joe
Yvonne is raised by her cynical mother. At 18, Yvonne becomes a nightclub hostess, giving men drugged drinks so they can be robbed. She saves Rex from a similar fate but refuses to give in his romantic overtures for his own safety. Her boss Harry hits Yvonne and warns her not to act foolishly again. When Rex returns to the club, Yvonne tries to warn him but he’s drugged. Harry and his men take Rex and Yvonne to the countryside to kill them, but Rex was only faking: he’s an undercover cop and arrests the gang. Yvonne thinks Rex was just using her but he says his love is real.
