Steppin' in Society

剧情简介

Howard "Ten Spot" Rocky, convicted of stealing an automobile, is sentenced by Judge Avery Webster to serve time in the state penitentiary. The sentence devastates Ten Spot's girl friend, "Jenny the Juke," who tells the judge that her boyfriend has reformed, and that he stole the car to take her to the hospital when she suffered from an appendicitis attack. The judge refuses to accept Jenny's arguments, and she accuses him of lacking feeling and understanding. Later, Avery and his wife Penelope leave for a vacation in Hot Springs, but their plans go awry when George Baxter, their chauffeur, quits. Stranded halfway between their home and Hot Springs, Penelope takes over the driving and crashes the car. A thunderstorm then forces the couple to take refuge at the Jungle Club inn, which, unknown to the Websters, is a front for jailed gangster Aloysius "Cookie" Blaine's operation. The Websters sense danger and decide to leave, but are prevented from doing so by Cookie's henchmen.
