 | Held for Ransom (1938)
Directed by: Clarence Bricker
Candy magnate Herbert Scott is kidnapped. A $50,000 ransom is paid but the hostage isn't freed. Police investigators are coming up empty handed, but they're keeping a close eye on their prime suspect, the tycoon's playboy son, Larry. The Feds send in one of their finest, Agent Betty Mason, a sharp-tongued tough gal who holds her own in the dangerous all-male world of law enforcement. Agent Mason teams up with Larry in a bold effort to rescue the elder Scott and recover the ransom money, but the real culprits are equally determined to stop them.
