Spinster Bertha Krasnoff (Aline MacMahon) runs a small fur coat shop. Her shrew business skills has made her successful. She takes pity on destitute sailor Tim O'Hara (Paul Kelly). She first feeds the starving man and then later marries him. She loves him despite his philandering nature. She gets a visit from his ex Marguerite Gilbert (Ann Dvorak) who had his baby. He doesn't know about the baby.

It's an early talkie melodrama. I really like MacMahon's performance. Her character is interesting. She's a self-imposed victim. It shows the power of love in a different way. The technical is pretty good. The filmmaking is solid. It's a good small melodrama.
