The Crooked Web

World's Most Beautiful Bait!

Cafe owner Stan Fabian joins Joanie Daniel and her 'brother' Frank in a scheme to unearth a 'fortune in stolen gold buried by Frank' in Germany during World War II, and Stan is unaware that Joanie and Frank are undercover agents trying to get a confession from Stan of a murder he committed in Germany. Joanie plays on Stan's love for her, insisting he join the Army and so gain access to the supposed hidden treasure , buried in what is now a U.S. Army reservation. Entrapment is the word used now.
