Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A young woman is on trial for murder. Flashbacks depict her struggle to overcome poverty as a teenage--a mistaken arrest and prison term for shoplifting and lack of employment lead to involvement with gangsters. In a brothel she meets a young lawyer, scion of a wealthy and prestigious family, who falls for her and helps her turn her life around. But her past catches up with her and she must face up to it rather than cause him scandal. Written by GoblinHairedGuy |
