High schoolers fall in love in a rural town. He gets called away to the Army, she promises to wait for him. After a few months she gets the dreaded "dear Jane" letter. She decides to hurt everyone she can in retribution and becomes the town slut. High school boys compete with an older land baron and married store owner for her attention. It all ends badly. Overwrought melodrama, though handsomely filmed in black and white by Ralph Woolsey.
