My True Story is a 1951 American romantic crime drama film about a female jewel thief.

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.

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.

A distraught Ann, having developed a genuine fondness for Madame Rousseau, learns that Bill is hiding the precious oil.
