Plot summary
Sandra Carpenter, an American, came to London for a stage engagement and now works as a taxi dancer. Lucy Barnard, a fellow dancer and a friend of hers, has disappeared, and Scotland Yard is looking for a killer who finds women through newspaper personal ads and then mails poems to the police. Inspector Harley Temple asks Sandra to work undercover and answer those ads; she receives a temporary police card, a gun and a bodyguard, H.R. Barrett. Robert Fleming, a nightclub revue producer, enters her life. A former fashion designer, Charles van Druten, places an advertisement Sandra answers, and a man named Mr. Moryani promises young women work in South America.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Lured (1947)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Lured was first released as Personal Column, the same title the 1939 French original Pièges carried in the United States. The code administration worried that some people read the title as "LURID", so United Artists pulled the film from distribution and then re-released it under its new title.
