Undercover Maisie (1947)

Trading her vaudeville sparkle for the grime of the city streets, the shrewd yet compassionate Maisie Ravier finds herself stranded in Los Angeles with nothing more than her glitzy garb. As fate would have it, she catches the eye of Lt. Paul Scott from the LAPD bunco squad, who sees in her a potential asset for his team of con-busting cops. With a promise of no romantic entanglements, Scott convinces his superior, Captain Mead, to fast-track Maisie through the rigorous training regimen. Throughout her journey, Maisie grapples with Scott's rigid attitudes and a somewhat frosty exterior, while finding a kindred spirit in Officer Chip Dolan, a former bunco member yearning for a return to his old squad. If she survives the grueling training, Maisie's first assignment is a tantalizing one: unmasking a fortune teller who's duping unsuspecting victims out of their fortunes, not with her psychic prowess but with a more sinister scheme. To succeed, Maisie must balance her innate street smarts with her newly acquired law enforcement skills, all while not letting her generous heart sway her judgement. Yet, it's this very compassionate nature that might just reveal the real face behind a colleague's facade. In "Undercover Maisie," the world of crime and glamour collide as one woman navigates her way, proving that kindness can coexist with toughness in the gritty realm of law enforcement.
