Girls on Probation is a 1938 American crime film directed by William C. McGann and written by Crane Wilbur.
The film stars Jane Bryan, Ronald Reagan, Anthony Averill, Sheila Bromley, Henry O'Neill and Elisabeth Risdon.
Innocent young Connie Heath is persuaded to borrow a party dress from her friend, "fast girl" Hilda Engstrom, who has actually misappropriated it from the dry cleaner where she works.
Connie leaves town after being mistreated by her unsympathetic father and gets a job in order to pay for the damaged dress.
When Hilda is given probation, she returns to town as well, to make even more trouble for Connie, especially after her boyfriend escapes prison.
