Larceny
John Payne is a scumbag who tries to cash in on postwar patriotism and grief. He tricks a war widow (Joan Caulfied) into giving up her savings for a nonexistent memorial. Payne has conscience pangs when he falls in love with the widow, but he doesn't count on his con-artist boss (Dan Duryea), who tends to bolster his arguments with muscle and bullets.
