Even though he's in love with her, he turns her in.In prison, Nan must learn the ropes of the jail hierarchy with the help of Linda (Lilian Roth) and battle out turf rules with tough girl, Susie (Dorothy Burgess). Susie happens to love Slade's sermons; she hears them over the radio and is insistent on following him as soon as she’s free.Meanwhile, Nan’s male friends from the botched bank robbery want her help to escape prison. Nan uses Slade yet again to get a letter out of town, but the letter is intercepted, giving up the escape plan. Nan gets caught, her friends are killed, and she gets another year added to her sentence.A year later, Nan is out and swears revenge on Slade; she's ready to kill.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The movie was remade in 1942 as Lady Gangster.

Butch Lesbian: It’s heavily coded, but Linda gives the tour of the jail to Nan and says to watch out for the one woman because she “likes to wrestle.” She is always seen smoking a cigar and wearing masculine clothing.

Grande Dame: There's Mrs. Arlington who still thinks she can pull her high society card whenever something doesn't go her way. Even when she killed a woman by putting glass in her food.
