My True Story is a 1951 American romantic crime drama film about a female jewel thief. It was directed by Mickey Rooney.

Plot

Ann Martin is two years into a five-year prison sentence when she is granted a conditional parole. A job and new life in a small town are waiting for her, with candy store owner Ed Praskins vouching for her and promising to produce regular reports on her conduct.

Bill Phillips, a pharmacist, introduces himself to Ann and attempts to know her better. Praskins then stuns Ann by revealing he is fronting a criminal operation run by George Trent, who is targeting a wealthy widow in town, known to all as Madame Rousseau, whose hidden cache of a valuable oil used in perfumes could be worth a fortune.

Ann is given false references and becomes Madame Rousseau's assistant and companion. Trent has already planted a chauffeur there named Foster, whose inability to keep a secret results in Trent murdering him. A distraught Ann, having developed a genuine fondness for Madame Rousseau, learns that Bill is hiding the precious oil. Trent tries to steal it, but Bill, actually working undercover, is ahead of him all the way. Ann must return to prison. Madame Rousseau, however, promises her a job when she gets out.

gollark: `async function(username) { let result = await api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU') return result}` is a really longwinded way to write `api.get('euw1', 'league.getLeagueEntriesForSummoner', 'MLR_5XD45pduq2iducsga00c4qi5sWqpaRkadd_E0fFhKXU')`, by the way. async/await is just nice syntax for promises.

gollark: <@102436520559910912> That's just an anonymous async function, so yes, it won't run if you don't do anything with it.

gollark: To just waste CPU cycles, this has worked for me before when I wanted to do that for some evil reason or other, but it's probably not very sound:```cvolatile long long int i = 0;while (i < [a big number]) { i++; }```

gollark: Oh right, probably.

gollark: If you do just need to make it do something for a bit, maybe just```cfor (int i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {}```or something would work, though compilers are getting crafty and might optimize it.
