This Woman Is Dangerous

Beth Austin, a gangster woman, begins experiencing severe headaches and is informed by her eye doctor that she is rapidly losing her eyesight. Despite the risks, she decides to proceed with an eye operation to regain her vision. Her health crisis is escalating as she plans her next steps.

Criminals dressed as police raid a gambling house where Beth is visiting, rifling through the safe. It is revealed that Beth had orchestrated the raid herself, showcasing her strategic planning and criminal involvement. The event underscores her dangerous life and risky plans.

Beth plans to visit a renowned eye clinic in Indiana to undergo surgery. She confides her intentions to her boyfriend Matt Jackson, who becomes suspicious about her true reasons for leaving and questions her motives. The journey marks her attempt to seek a cure for her failing eyesight.

Beth undergoes a risky eye surgery performed by Dr. Ben Halleck, who informs her of the procedure's high danger and low chance of success. She insists on moving forward despite the warnings. During her recovery, Beth remains in bed with her eyes bandaged and avoids movement.

After weeks, Beth's bandages are removed, and she remarkably regains her sight. She is then required to wear goggles for a while as part of her recovery. Her visual return marks a major turning point in her condition and her hope for a new beginning.

At a champagne farewell dinner at the clinic, Dr. Halleck tells Beth she must stay in town for some time. She plans to leave afterward, staying at a nearby hotel. This event signifies a temporary pause in her plans as she navigates her new situation.

A private investigator, Joe Crossland, encounters Beth at her hotel and hints that he is working for Matt. He warns her to be cautious, indicating that her connections with Matt may put her in danger. This introduces the ongoing threat from her criminal associates.

Dr. Halleck takes Beth shopping in Indianapolis but has to stop at a woman's prison en route. Beth witnesses prison guards and relives her own past experiences with crime and hardship. She then meets Halleck's family, mourning his personal struggles and revealing her emotional state.

Beth, after helping Halleck during a critical farm accident, decides to return to Matt, feeling indebted to him for past favors. She changes her mind about leaving town and boards a bus heading to Kentucky, choosing to re-engage with her criminal life and her boyfriend.

Beth arrives at Matt Jackson's farmhouse, where she learns that Crossland, the investigator, has been informing the police about her and Matt's activities. Matt becomes angry and leaves to confront Dr. Halleck, revealing his intent to kill him. The event escalates tensions and danger.

Matt captures and interrogates Crossland to learn Dr. Halleck's whereabouts. After Crossland refuses to cooperate, Matt kills him, revealing his ruthlessness. This marks a key escalation in the criminal narrative as Matt becomes more violent.

Matt visits Dr. Halleck at the hospital, watching him perform surgery. Beth, who is at the hospital, discovers Matt watching and intervenes, leading to a confrontation where Matt fires at Ben and wounds Beth. The police arrive and shoot Matt as he tries to escape, ending his violent spree.

During the chaos, Beth is wounded, and Matt is killed by police in a dramatic finale. Beth and Dr. Halleck hold hands, hopeful for a better future despite the violence and chaos behind them. Authorities suggest she may receive leniency for her involvement.
