Plot summary

Trying to get justice for her wronged mother, financial expert Tracy Whitney is instead framed by a gangster for bank fraud and sent to prison for fifteen years by a corrupt judge and a crooked attorney. At first a victim, Tracy makes alliances, learns valuable skills from her fellow inmates, and plots her escape. She abandons her plan in order to save the warden's young daughter from drowning, earning herself a pardon.

After exacting revenge on the men responsible for her sentence, Whitney accepts an offer from the brutal Gunther Hartog to become his apprentice; under his tutelage, she becomes a master con artist and disguise expert. While plotting her biggest score, she crosses paths with another veteran con artist, Jeff Stevens, to whom she is attracted but is not sure she can trust. Trailing behind them is the unstable insurance investigator Daniel Cooper.
