Pickup on South Street

How the law took a chance on a B-girl … and won!

Skip McCoy, an insolent pickpocket in New York City, targets ex-prostitute Candy and steals her wallet, inadvertently setting off a chain of events. Candy has been making deliveries of highly classified information to the communists, followed for months by FBI agents hoping to catch the spy ringleader. Her ex-boyfriend Joey sends her to find Skip and recover the valuable microfilm he now possesses.
