Blondell dominates zippy little programmer

This turned out to be a very entertaining little movie. It's in the mold of those 1930's newspaper-reporter-outwits-police-and-everyone-else films.

You don't really have time to think about it as the plot unfolds, but afterwards you realize it was actually pretty implausible. But it still entertains thanks to the leading lady and a well thought out script.
