The Girl Who Came Back

Shirley Grey has had it with the gang life. Although a talented counterfeiter and inside woman, she's had it with the rough stuff and fear of the law. So she takes off to California, where she gets a job at a bank. She attracts attention by insisting that a well-made counterfeit bill is a fake, and so becomes the assistant of aristocratic Sidney Blackmer and his love interest. But the gang, led by Noel Madison, sees her as an opportunity.

There are some issues with some of the deliveries, but under the direction of Charles Lamont, there are enough quirks and individuality among the characters to keep up interest. Madison is particularly good, In addition, Lamont pushes the pace of dialogue at an astounding rate for a Poverty Row picture. Although there are a few issues with some of the plot points, like Miss Grey's rise in a bank, it's got enough issues, like a woman trying to go straight, and then confronted with her past, to keep up interest for its 66-minute length.
