Subscribe FreeThe Gun In Betty Lou's Handbag is a delightful, implausible, light comedy. Betty Lou (Penelope Ann Miller) is a painfully shy, small town librarian who is ignored by everyone including her police detective husband (Eric Thal), until she confesses to a murder she didn’t commit. Her laugh-filled adventures begin when she is befriended in jail by a more “worldly” woman (Cathy Moriarty) who helps to change her image. The sexy new Betty Lou becomes the center of attention and the town heroine as she aids in “busting” a murdering mob boss.
