          	~Plot Synopsis~



        

        This routine Warner Brothers melodrama was based on the novel by Ruth Cross. Country girl Molly 
Shannon (Helene Chadwick) wins a college scholarship which was offered by Judge Gregory Cochran 
(Huntley Gordon). While attending the school, she falls in love with one of the professors, Renfro 
(Richard Tucker), but on the eve of their wedding, he deserts her. She wanders miserably through the 
night until she passes out in front of a notorious road house. Before she is taken in, she is seen by 
Bancroft (Frank Campeau), a politician. Molly's ordeal comes back to haunt her much later, after she 
and Cochran marry. Bancroft wants to use Molly's presence at the road house to stop Cochran from 
running for office. To save her husband, Molly disappears and pretends to have committed suicide. 
Just before the election, Renfro shows up and finds Molly. He is shot in a struggle -- but before he 
dies, he insists that Molly is completely innocent of any wrongdoing. Cochran's career is saved and he 
and Molly are reunited.
