As Jake pursues her romantically, Bonnie finds out that her unscrupulous brother Rodney (William Bakewell) has hooked up with Jake's gang and is in deep trouble.

Quote-able Gable

“Your name’s Jordan?” first line

“Now listen, kid. Money talks. And remember, in this business it’s the only thing that talks.”

“If we take you on, there’s certain rules of the game you’ve got to learn. Keeping your mouth shut’s one of them. But first, no matter what happens, don’t talk.”

“Now listen close. ‘Cause I don’t repeat myself! You got us into this jam and you’re going to get us out!”

“If you don’t come through, they’ll be a double murder!”

“Gee, you’re a cute kid.”

“You’ve got me glowing, sister.”

“You’re going to have a little supper with me tonight. Upstairs in my room. We’ve got to get better acquainted."

“It’s hard to believe a girl like you ever came from Missouri.”

“Yeah, I get my share of publicity. More than I care about.”

“Take it easy now, don’t make a sound.”

“Thought you’d take it on the run, eh? Trying to slip out of town, I guess!”

“There’s nothing you can say that I want to hear! Now listen, Jordan, head for that door. Keep your arms down and walk straight ahead for that sister of yours.” last lines
