Phillips Holmes (Joe) ends up at the apartment of stranger Nancy Carroll (Mary) after following her in a dazed condition. She is actually a street walker and he has just stolen $20k. He is injured and the two of them open up to one another and seem to have a connection. However, the police are not far behind and come calling at Nancy's apartment block to catch the thief. She shields Holmes and the two of them make a suicide pact. They will spend all the money together and then end it all.
The film starts well and the acting is fine. Louis Calhern (Steve) appears as a wealthy womaniser with an interest in Nancy and he has a nice transformation during the film - he starts out as a creep. There are some entertaining sections of dialogue and poignant moments in the film, eg, when Carroll tells Holmes that they have been invited to a party the following week to which Holmes replies that they won't be around. We deduce from this that the money has run out. Do they see it through?
