Paid to Dance (also known as Hard to Hold) is a 1937 drama film starring Don Terry, Jacqueline Wells and Rita Hayworth.
Government agents William Dennis (Terry) and Joan Barclay (Wells) are undercover, working to solve the disappearances of girls working as "taxi-dancers" of the many dance halls operated by Jack Miranda (Arthur Loft) and his henchman Nifty (Paul Fix). Dennis sets himself up as a theatrical booking agent, and shows his power by the opening and closing of Miranda's Paradise Club at will.
