A satchel of stolen cash lands in a Los Angeles woman's convertible by pure accident, and she kills her way through husband, blackmailer, and rescuer alike rather than give it back.

Too Late for Tears turns its femme fatale loose without a single redeeming instinct — Lizabeth Scott’s Jane Palmer out-plots, out-lies, and outlives every man foolish enough to trust her, right up to the vertiginous finish.
