Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Jack Wycoff is a successful young author whose double is the notorious gangster Cy King. Mistakenly arrested, Wyckoff finds himself handcuffed to an attractive lady. Wycoff escapes custody and flees across the country with the law in hot pursuit, refusing to establish either his true identity or his innocence until the lady unwillingly trapped at his side agrees to marry him.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
