“A trail of perfume... and violence!”
Burglar Nat Harbin and his two associates set their sights on wealthy spiritualist Sister Sarah, who has inherited a fortune -- including a renowned emerald necklace -- from a Philadelphia financier. Using Nat's female ward, Gladden, to pose as an admirer and case the mansion where the woman lives, they set up a perfect break-in. Things get complicated afterwards.
A smoky, morally ambiguous dive into the criminal underworld. This film feels like a cold, hard rain on a lonely city street, full of desperate characters and the promise of inevitable downfall.
