Fast-paced, sexy and over the top, this medical melodrama has a nurse uncovering a plot to starve two little girls to death for their inheritance. A brutish chauffeur (Clark Gable) aids and abets the evil plot, but he's foiled by Lora Hart (Barbara Stanwyck), shown in pre-Code lingerie during much of the action. Characteristic of director William A. Wellman's filmic women, Stanwyck is tough and funny, with energy to spare.
