Betty was a drugstore counter girl who was not content with an easy, slow life. She wanted things and wanted them now, so she resorted to using a gun and hopped up gunmen to get them for her. Her first target was found at the Fifty-Four Club and she was then on a roll of crime and murder, teaming up with racketeer, Happy Gordon. Having banked most of her loot, Betty wants to retire, but fears Gordon will not allow it, so she decides to betray Gordon to the law. Wounded, Gordon decides on payback.....and gets his revenge.

The Law's Revenge!
