Peggy and Jim seem to be a happily married young couple. However, Peggy doesn't realize that her husband is an evil sociopath...and leads a bloody truck hijacking ring. In fact, when the police catch up to Jim, Peggy has no idea that her hubby is a crook and all she knows is that armed men are approaching...and she helps Jim escape. However, soon after this she realizes what a scum-bag he is and she leaves him. Jim vows to get her back....or else. And the law assumes they are both evil criminals!
Peggy hides out as a cook for a nice artist (Reed Hadley). Very soon, he's smitten with her. She wants to reciprocate, as she is also very fond of him...and when Jim fakes his own death, she thinks she finally is rid of the guy. Imagine their surprise when Jim shows up!!
This is a very cheaply made film by a so-called 'Poverty Row' studio, Crescent. And, as such, I expected that the movie would be terrible....which it wasn't. Sure, some of the acting could have been better but overall the story worked and kept my interest. And, fortunately, Hadley was far less wooden that he was in 1950s TV.
