Dorothy Patrick is The Blonde Bandit in this Republic time-filler. The script
establishes a degree of sympathy for Gloria Dell (Patrick) by depicting her
as more sinned against the sinning. Involved in a holdup masterminded
by bookie Joe Sapelli (Gerald Mohr), Gloria is given a chance for
redemption, if only she'll act as an undercover agent for the cops. The
leading actors offer perfunctory performances, with the exception of
Gerald Mohr, whose "kidding on the square" approach to his role is most
refreshing. Featured in the cast are two former silent-movie stars, Monte
Blue and Eva Novak.
