Johnny becomes besotted with her but the love doesn't come cheap. As Madelon sucks him dry of cash he turns to gambling to boost his salary. Of course it doesn't end well and Johnny is forced to steal from the firm. He ends up fired and in jail.
This is not the end of his troubles... the film is also known as Perilous Journey in the UK which is an apt title. Johnny's descent is somewhat swift and he slips into the under world of organised crime a bit too easily to be that believable though he remains good to his Mum to the end.
Well it's a fairly basic story and not a very original film. The film moves at a good pace and has reasonable acting. It has with a laughably bad fight scene that would be more realistic in a primary school playground than between two gangsters. Overall a decent watch.
