Bette Davis is one of an entourage of "hostesses" working in a nightclub entertaining men who've come to the club to gamble. Her character is a tough-talking independent type who takes no guff from the new crime boss who recently presides over the joint (Eduardo Ciannelli), and she lives to regret it. A good film, with the outstanding performance for me going to Humphrey Bogart this time, as a sincere and dedicated young DA. Bette goes a little over the top on occasion, but it's a pleasure to watch her do her stuff and she wasn't a bad looker back in the '30s.
