Cargo of Love
Seduced and abandoned by the man she loves, Ellie flees in shame from her community. She becomes a companion to a wealthy woman, and when she arrives she is drugged at Senora Lupo's luxurious East Side New York apartment and driven to a secluded estate. The estate is a playground for wealthy men, and the Lupo sisters run a white slave racket to keep the place supplied with innocent young women. She awakens to the screams of an inmate being flogged and is alerted to the danger of attempting to escape when another inmate is tortured to death and burned. Pregnancy or illness means certain death; local police cooperate to make escape impossible. At last, tipped off by the disappearance of young women in a number of cities, the FBI investigates. A young female agent, equipped with electronic surveillance devices, answers the ad, and the gang is brought to justice.
