Larceny
John Payne is the scumbag lowdown rat who exploits postwar patriotism and grief. He tricks a war widow (Joan Caulfied) into giving up her savings for a nonexistent memorial. When Payne falls in love with the widow, he has conscience pangs, but he doesn't count on his con-artist boss (Dan Duryea), who tends to bolster his arguments with muscle and bullets.
