It's 1907 Los Angeles. Mischievous socialite Anna Blanc is the kind of
young woman who devours purloined crime novels, but must disguise them behind
covers of more domestically-appropriate reading. She could match wits with
Sherlock Holmes, but in her world women are not allowed to hunt criminals.
Determined to break free of the era's rigid social roles, Anna buys off the
chaperone assigned by her domineering father and, using an alias, takes a job
as a police matron with the Los Angeles Police Department. There she discovers
a string of brothel murders, which the cops are unwilling to investigate.
Seizing her one chance to solve a crime, she takes on the investigation
herself. If the police find out, she'll get fired; if her father finds out,
he'll disown her; and if her fiancé finds out, he'll cancel the wedding. Midway
into her investigation, the police chief's son, Joe Singer, learns her true
identity, and shortly thereafter she learns about blackmail. Anna must choose -
either hunt the villain and risk losing her father, fiancé, and wealth, or
abandon her dream and leave the killer on the loose.
