The story of a poor New Orleans woman duped into an abusive relationship, then abandoned. She follows him to LA, then shoots him in a jewelry store while he is buying a ring for his new wife! A trial follows, but incredibly she is found not guilty. She is "adopted" by a society lady and falls in love with her chauffeur. She has ambitions to be a nurse but is rejected because of her past. She ends up back in New Orleans, soon followed by the chauffeur, where there is a happy ending. A wraparound narrative is hosted by Dorothy Davenport, in which she directly addresses the camera about the story we are watching, which, unfortunately, is rather predictable.
