Psychiatrist David Lamont is pressured into "analyzing" the madcap but glamorous niece of a judge. Then crooks on the lam intrude...

Madcap Jerri Vail is arrested for reckless driving once too often, this time while on a blind date with vacationing psychiatrist David Lamont. Jerri's uncle, a judge, pressures David into "analyzing" Jerri at his mountain lodge, with comic caretakers Joad and Martha for chaperones. Jerri tries to confound the doctor by seducing him, but the situation is complicated by payroll robbers hiding in the mountains.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>

Pampered, excitement-craving Jerri Vail is too much for her uncle, Judge Waterman, who turns her over to young psychiatrist Dr. Dave Lamont. He is also fed up with Jerri, who has involved him in an ugly mix-up with the police, but he faces ruination by front-page publicity unless he submits to the judge's unofficial blackmail. He agrees to give Jerri the psychiatric "works". He starts the cure in a secluded cabin, chaperoned by an elderly couple. He soon finds Jerri a fascinating patient, but their budding romance is interrupted by gunman Stan Martin, his moll Dell Parker, and two henchmen. Escaping from the police with a big payroll haul, they hold the quartet in the cabin while police surround it.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
