A woman joins the police and tries to pursue her father's killers by assuming an undercover identity.[2]
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Thomas M. Pryor wrote: "[T]here are no surprises in 'Undercover Girl.' The film details in interesting fashion, however, how the L.A. police help Chris to win the confidence of the smugglers as a big drug buyer from Chicago. Not so interesting are the climactic moments of the melodrama when a sleazy character discovers that Chris is a cop and tips off the gang. It might be interesting, just for the sake of change, to have a police plan work out so successfully that the gang could be apprehended without discovering the identity of the undercover agent. How about it, moviemakers?"[3]
