BLONDE BAIT Chuck Odlum feels like a kept husband. His beautiful wife, Inez, owns a ski resort, where he has to answer to her every beck and call. All they do these days is argue. Chuck wants more out of life. Then Bunny Kemp shows up, blonde and inviting. But more than that, she has a tale to tell-about how her husband Orin has in his possession one of the missing bags of money from a recent New York kidnapping. Orin is on his way to the lodge, but is being tailed by a crooked cop who is onto him. Chuck wants Bunny and soon the feeling is mutual. Between them they figure out how they can keep the money for themselves. All they have to do is get rid of her husband, stay one step ahead of the cop, keep out of the way of the suspicious Inez-and the money will be all theirs. But things don't always work out as planned.
