Krimi / drama, USA, 1940, 60 min.



When Police Inspector Jim Daly is assigned to investigate unscrupulous escort services, he goes undercover as a stockbroker and enlists the help of Harry Braddock, an insurance executive. The two men telephone two separate escort bureaus and arrange dates for that evening. While Jim's escort, Ann Powell, works for a legitimate company, Braddock's date, Peggy Davis, is in the employ of a blackmailing organization known as the Companion Club. Following orders given to her by bosses Frank Regan and Louis Manell, Peggy gets Braddock drunk and then tricks him into posing for a picture taken by Manell's photographer. The next morning, Manell threatens to publish the photo unless Braddock pays him two thousand dollars. When the desperate Braddock commits suicide, Jim and Ann try to track down the men behind the Companion Club. Ann, who has since been hired by the Companion Club, provides Regan with the record books of her former employer, but not before she adds Jim's name to the list, describing him as a rich chump. Soon after, Jim calls the club and asks for a date with Ann, who takes him to Manell. Manell tries to blackmail Jim, but Jim gets the evidence he needs to convict Manell by paying him in marked bills. Before Jim can make the arrest, however, one of Manell's men recognizes him as a detective and beats him unconscious. Because Ann has double-crossed them, the racketeers take her with them and flee by car, but when the car crashes Jim and the police catch up with them. Regan is killed in the accident and Manell is captured. Ann later gets her old job back at the Lady Middleton Escort Club, and she and Jim look forward to a future together.
