Johnny Allegro

A florist is unexpectedly recruited by Treasury Department officials to help track down a notorious criminal, but as he gets closer to his target, he becomes the one being pursued.

Johnny Allegro, a former criminal who escaped from Sing Sing prison, now runs a legitimate flower shop in a Los Angeles hotel. His life takes a dramatic turn when a high-class blonde, Glenda Chapman, runs into his arms and claims to be his date, telling him she's in danger and needs his help to escape from a pursuing detective. As they spend more time together, Johnny falls for Glenda, but his world is turned upside down when a Treasury Agent reveals his true identity and asks for his help in tracking down the source of a massive counterfeit money operation. Complicating matters, Johnny discovers that Glenda is somehow involved in the scheme, leaving him torn between his love for her and his obligation to the authorities.
