Plot

Bert Harris works for a hotel as a bellboy. One day he meets Anne Roberts, who signs up as a chambermaid. He takes a fancy to her and lets her in on his racket, conning people out of money.

Reception

Time felt the ending of the film was out of place with the rest of the film and was only inserted there to provide a moralistic "law and order" ending.^[1]
