the money. To get even for Ben’s rejections, she later plays up their trip to June into an escapade. June confronts Ben, who responds that it is she he really wants. Given the suspicions surrounding the seeming tryst, June wonders if it's really both of them he's after. Dorothy is subsequently arrested for stealing a pearl necklace, and June pleads with Ben to intervene on her behalf. He leans on his ex-boss, a former lieutenant whom Ben had managed to reward with an undeserved promotion to chief of police, to release Dorothy and purge her record. Jansen, who still loves June, discovers the duplicity and insists that her sister must go back to jail. Caspar returns from Mexico seeking revenge on Ben. Appearing at the beach house, he finds a drunken and provocative Dorothy alone there. An alcoholic and a nymphomaniac, she throws herself at the despicable Caspar. When Caspar boastfully scatters the stacks of money from the safe on the floor and offers some to Dorothy, she tries to steal some more. Still, Caspar invites her to flee back to Mexico with him, and she accepts. June shows up to rescue her, only to end up at the point of Caspar’s gun. Facing death, she shoots him first with the spear gun, then twice with his own revolver. Ben arrives, and, with the heat on him from Caspar’s gang, plus the police sure to be on his heels, entreats June to go away with him and the money but she refuses. Caspar, wounded but not yet dead, shoots Ben and wounds him. Caspar’s gang arrives. Ben, June, and an increasingly deranged Dorothy end up trapped in a bedroom. Ben calls the police and tells them to rush a full squad to the beach house to round up Caspar and his hoods. Caspar tells Ben that if he comes out he will spare the two women. Ben comes out and taunts Caspar who shoots him several times. The police finally arrive and round up Caspar and his gang. Badly wounded, Ben is put on a stretcher. June speaks to him tenderly before he is placed in an ambulance. June then proclaims that Dorothy will get all the care she needs, care that Dorothy has rejected until now. The movie ends ambiguously, leaving it unclear whether Ben will survive, will June continue to care about him if he does, or will
