A diamond theft turns into murder and kidnapping when members of the Grisson gang get involved. The victim turns out to be the love interest of Slim Grisson, who along with his mother "Ma" Grisson, run the gang. He returns the stolen jewelry to throw off the police, but the girl lives with him anonymously in his posh nightclub. She convinces him to go straight and they plan to run off together, but the gang has different ideas. Set in New York though filmed in England, which explains why most of the locals have British accents. It relies too much on stereotypes for its characterizations, and emphasizes the romance between the leads, but an entertaining diversion nonetheless.
