In this very pre-Code drama, streetwalker Mae (Carole Lombard) is arrested for soliciting and ordered to leave New York or face jail time. Though she has no intention of complying, Mae has second thoughts about returning to sex work when she falls in love with, and then marries, Jimmy (Pat O’Brien), a taxi driver with no knowledge of her past. When an old acquaintance from her working days resurfaces, however, Mae becomes caught up in a murder trial that threatens to derail her new life.
