Whistle Stop

After living for years in Chicago, Mary (Ava Gardner) travels back to the tiny hamlet where she grew up. There she reconnects with her old flame, the hapless Kenny (George Raft), and discovers that, in the years since they last met, he has developed a crippling gambling addiction. When debonair hotelier Lew (Tom Conway) takes an interest in Mary, she welcomes the successful man's advances -- only to find herself trapped between two jealous suitors who would kill for her.
