Lovely Ann Corio stars as Annabelle, a young woman raised in the swamps of Louisiana who returns home after a stint in numerous clubs in several big cities.
Not too long after she arrives a promoter named Flash (Jay Novello) also arrives looking for her. At the same time a detective, Rance (Ian MacDonald) is combing the swamp looking for a young man who has escaped from a chain gang.
The young man is named Jeff (Richard Deane) and he finds refuge in the home of Annabelle's sister Lizbet (Mary Hull). Lizbet falls for the young man and tries to help him escape from the police.
Eventually everything plays out and we discover that Jeff is innocent and can now settle down with Lizbet. The plot is very simple and the acting isn't bad at all. It's a typical PRC release as it is on the ultra cheap, but that is what makes a lot of these so much fun.
Star Ann Corio made only a handful of low budget films, but is better known as a striptease dancer. According to her bio she was earning 1000 dollars a week in 1940!!
The rest of the cast includes Jack La Rue, Lois Austin and Earl Gunn.
