Lois King keeps her troubled past from nightclub owner Kenny Randall, who hires her to sing at his club, The Cockatoo, and has fallen in love with her.
Lois is blackmailed by Eddie, the ex-partner of her father, Red, who is in prison. Eddie and a female safecracker, Dottie Manson, will see to it that Reds sentence is extended to life unless Lois helps them rob the nightclub.
Kenny accidentally comes across the burglars and is killed. Lois finds his body and is arrested and falsely convicted for his murder.
Lois is on death row when Dottie is brought to the prison. By the time other inmates can convince Dottie to confess to killing Kenny, the execution has been carried out.
