Ladies They Talk About

Plot Summary

Academy Award winner Barbara Stanwyck stars as a girl with a grudge in this early, hard-edged women-in-prison love story--Ladies They Talk About. Gun moll Nan Taylor (Stanwyck--Christmas in Connecticut) makes the mistake of falling in love with cop and part-time preacher David Slade (Preston Foster--The Harvey Girls). Slade repays Taylor's affections by putting her in jail, believing prison time will help her leave her wicked ways behind--because he is in love her too. But the penitentiary merely serves to turn Taylor into a hardened criminal who leads a breakout of women prisoners. The first thing Nan does with her newfound freedom is come gunning for Slade. Now, will she realize that she loves him as much as he loves her before she kills him -- or after?
