Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A young girl is raped while coming home from work. The trauma of the attack turns her away from her parents and her fiancé. Unable to face society, she runs away and, using an assumed name, takes a job on an orange ranch. A young clergyman takes an interest in her although she won't confide in him. When a ranch hand tries to kiss her she relives her terrifying experience and nearly kills him. She is arrested, but when her identity is established and the facts of her case are brought forth, the clergyman convinces the court that society should shoulder the blame. He helps her rebuild her faith and sends her back to her parents and fiancé.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Production Code office rejected the script in January 1950, objecting to the words "sex maniac", "sex fiend", "rape", and "rapist". These were removed from the screenplay and the PCA approved the film on February 8, 1950 allowing the production to commence 12 days later. See more » |
