“The Pregnancy Scheme” (** out of four) was a pretty illogical suspense melodrama about a woman (Greta Carews-Johns) who is newly single and loses her job and finds out she is pregnant and then receives some shady advice from a new friend (Ruth Bidner) who convinces her there is big money that can be made from positive pregnancy tests which puts her on slippery moral and financial grounds. Allegedly based on true events but contrived script and story complications make this ring false almost all the way. Carews-Johns’ sincere performance helps you overlook some story flaws but this still should have been aborted before it began.
