Edward G. Robinson owns a swanky dance club in NYC, which he uses as a base of operations for his gangster activities. Alice White, whose husband is murdered by Robinson in the opening scenes, infiltrates the club by posing as the wife of a gangster thought dead. He shows up unexpectedly one day, but she is pretty enough that he goes along with her charade. Eventually she incriminates Robinson by using an open phone line to the police, leading to a memorable stand off in the dark club. However, other than those last scenes, it's mostly talk, talk, talk.
