Plot

Two female thieves exploit the naivety of one thief's young daughter to steal valuables from jewelry stores. When police detective Mary Ryan uncovers the ruse, the two women are arrested and incarcerated. At the suggestion of her superiors, Detective Ryan is trained as a pickpocket. She is then sent undercover. She poses as a hardened con artist and is assigned to the same jail cell as one of the thieves. Over time, Ryan uncovers the network of fences the two women relied on, thus becoming involved in an intricate, risky chain of events that nearly leads to her own demise.
