(United Arusts) A drama of a thief who went to prison to ensure his baby daughter’s future—and deliberately threw away his chance of freedom to prevent his wife ruining her happi- L ness . . . using a bouquet of flowers and a waft of scent in his plans. The jewel thief and the lady — Brian Donlevy as Heliotrope Harry—a nickname derived from h : s habit of wearing a buttonhole of heliotrope for good luck — and Miriam Hopkins as Flo, his wife. Harry’s friendly enemy is Detective Tom Caynor, who knows Horry's thefts, but has been unable to pin any crime on him. The last job. Flo and Harry explain to their chauffeur Stubby (Harold Huber) and their accom- plice Eddie Smith (Philip Reed) the procedure to be followed in stealing the Cartwright necklace of emeralds. Because of the arrival of a daughter, Harry is planning to give up his present life, settle down on a farm and go straight. Flo and Eddie bitterly resent the decision. A shadow from the past clouds the happiness of Tom Gaynor (Preston Foster) and his wife (Gloria Holden). Tom has adopted Harry's daughter — but Flo has returned and is trying to blackmail him. 157
