Im Solde des Satans (1950)
Wie Ethel Whitehead erfahren muss, gibt es nur eine Möglichkeit, sich als Frau in der Männerwelt zu behaupten: Sei so verführerisch wie ein Sahnetörtchen – und so zäh wie ein Steak aus der Pommesbude. Ethel plant ihren Aufstieg vom Armenviertel über die Villa eines Gangsters bis in die Gesellschaft der oberen Zehntausend sie ganz methodisch: einen Mann nach dem anderen. Einige Männer lieben sie. Andere benutzen sie. Und einer – der Gangsterkönig – misshandelt sie. Als der Gangster seinen Rivalen in Ethels mondänem Wohnzimmer ermordet, flieht sie, weil man ihr den Mord anhängen will…
