Ruth Roman proves the old adage about "the female of the species" in the role of ruthless mob wife Georgie Drake. A clever businesswoman, Georgie is the real brains behind the heroin-trafficking racket overseen by her husband Nick Dolov (Grant Richards); all she asks in return is Nick's total and unquestioning fidelity. Alas, Dolov has a yen for sexy showgirl Marian Keyes (Anne Helm), prompting Georgie to take out a contract on her own husband. But though she is able to keep Elliot Ness (Robert Stack) off her trail, Georgie hadn't figured on the vengeful determination of her rival Marian--nor the eleventh-hour treachery of her hired torpedo Maxie (Jay Adler).
