But the he mast summon day comes when every trick in his power to save the Led girl ho loven from a charge of manslaughter. In attempting to win tbo case for her he becomes enmeshed; in the toils of the law himself, and faces a life term in jail. The climax is filled with high-tension dramatics, and leaves audiences breathless.

Kay Francis is the sweetheart who in threatened with the ominous trip across the Bridge of Sighs into a life- time of imprisonment.
