Norma Shearer is just fine in her last silent role and ekes everything she can out of it, but the plot lets her down and makes this just an average film. She plays a con who must keep ahead of the law as well as a couple of other grifters, who are played delightfully by Lowell Sherman and Gwen Lee. Without spoiling it, where it takes a turn for the worse is when she shows she has a heart - it just wasn't believable based on everything that came before it, and made the rest of the film far less interesting than it could have been. If you love Shearer, there's enough here to watch it though.
