Cat Out of the Bag Alert!  This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: Dr. Lee Cardwell (Paul Muni), nicknamed Dr. Socrates for his interest in philosophy, is a small town doctor who is roped into treating a gangster and his notorious mob.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): Cardwell is protective of a young woman named Josephine Gray (Ann Dvorak) who was picked up as a hitchhiker by the gang and shot in a subsequent bank robbery. To protect Josephine he has her stay at his house to recuperate. He returns home one night to find her on the porch holding a tiny calico kitten.

Josephine explains that the kitten has adopted her and she holds it throughout this scene. However the kitten is not seen or mentioned again in the film.

Final Mewsings: When a kitten adopts you, it should be for keeps!
