his voice can be heard.'here i am again, they said i wouldn't make it on the outside. if only i didn't meet that dame.
buster is drunk in a bar on his own and is greeted by a gangster who says he has a job for him. buster turns the job down.
the gansters girlfriend lacey appears, buster cant take his eyes of her.
back to buster in a prision cell, (voice over) if only i walked away when i had the chance...

lacey gives buster a gun and a kiss...
buster shoots the gangster as he leaves his house one morning
buster and lacey meet in a dingey hotel room. she thanks him and says that she will run away with him that night.
buster waits for lacey at the rail station. the cops turn up and and arrest him. lacey can be seen in the background, she has obviously reported him to the police.
back to buster in jail. his voice over can be heard, (voice over) you see, dames always bring a man down. she wont hurt anymore suckers now...
buster quickly grabs the police mans gun in a struggle, manages to fire a shot which hits lacey and she dies.
flashback to buster walking out of jail.........
this story is typical of a film noir there is an antihero( buster ), femme fatale ( lacey ) and the villian ( the gangster ) the anti hero is typically drawn in by the femme fatale and murders her gangster boyfriend, the anti hero doesnt get away with the muders but the femme fatale dies also so the anti hero does end up being the only one left alive at the end.
