Doctor Rose Hobart has one month to go on her prison term for assisted suicide. Before she is let out, a couple of gangsters break their molls out, and take Dr. Hobart with them because she was so good to them in the stir. Finally, she talks them into letting her get out, so she's walking back to prison, when she stops to help some people who are sick. She has settled them down well when Doctor John Litel shows up, stashes her at his plantation. They fall in love. He proposes marriage. At the judge's she gives her real name, so she can finally serve her time out. While she's waiting, the gangsters who "helped" her before show up, rob the local bank, and take her along, because one of their little group has been shot. So Litel is on trial for harboring a fugitive, while Doctor Hobart is trying to get out of her situation.
While it's a PRC production, so there's not much , if any, money wasted on incidentals like a script that makes sense, the leads bring a reality to their line readings, and William Beaudine shows that when he's working with professionals, like them, actor John Ince and Ruby Dandridge, and cinematographer Marcel Le Picard, he can turn out a pretty good movie. Then, of course, some inept performer like Lynn Starr opens her mouth, and unchewed word hash falls out, or someone decides the ending isn't happy enough, so writer Arthur St. Clare has someone else do it, a pardon is issued, and too bad about the five years in prison and your lifted license, but now it's not on your record. Blech.
Still, when it's just the professionals at work, it's pretty good.
