In reality, Helen is working in conjunction with the police to hunt down the Chevy gang, whom she holds responsible for the death of her father. By means of a Dictaphone with hidden wires, Helen discovers that with Shelby's aid the gang plans to draw a large overdraft on the bank. Upon completion of the fraud, Helen notifies the police who arrive in time to arrest the thieves, and Shelby, disgraced, commits suicide rather than face prison. Thus, the crooks are brought to justice and Helen's father is avenged. Written by AFI See less
