Synopsis:
The
story begins with the character of Marnie who casually
floats from town to town, in varying identities, calmly
robbing her employer and then disappearing without a trace.
She winds up in Philadelphia working for a company owned by
Mark Rutland. Despite her new appearance, Rutland recognizes
Marnie but keeps her in his employ while he begins a game of
baiting her.
Before long Marnie strikes again as she attempts to rob
Rutland's office but is caught red-handed. Rutland, finding
himself falling for the icy blonde, decides not to hand her
over to the authorities but tries to cure the kleptomaniac.
He proposes marriage to the frustrated Marnie who finds
matrimony even more repulsive than an 8 X 10 jail cell. When
parts of Marnie’s past become clearer Rutland’s dreams
of “and they lived happily ever after” seem uncertain. |
