Summary:
She's alluring, conniving, and she'll do anything to claw her way out of poverty an into the corridors of wealth and power. This fast-paced, colorful adventure is based on the true story of a woman who ruthlessly used her beauty and cinning to acieve the good life. The beautiful daughter of a poor farmer, Betsy Bigley is desperate to improve her situation. She cooks up one scheme after another, hoping to gain entry into high society. From bilking farmers to powerful New York bankers, she works her considerable charm at every opportunity, until an unforeseen twist threatens her greatest con. When she vows revenge, she makes good in a rollicking caper involving a phony gold mine, a showgirl and a lovesick private eye.
