Handsome Vince Carter left Dolores O'Day because he was just a chump with an old Plymouth, a night watchman job, and barely a dime for coffee. He came back for Dolores because he made good as an L.A. Police Detective. Once he arrives at the 'Studio Club' to claim her, he finds out she is now the property of Nick O'Dell, a tough gangster who is now very protective of his 'canary'. They encounter each other and a gun goes off. We see the results of this game of deception, corruption, broken promises, and greed. Such is life in 'Old Hollywood'.
