Synopsis
Crusading Judge Evans wants to expose the unscrupulous Judge Mordant even though he is engaged to Mordant's daughter, Doris. Hearing of Evans' plan, Mordant devises a scheme of his own and "frames" Evans with five teenage girls and a prostitute. Now in disgrace and alone after Doris leaves him, Evans falls ill, but "the Kid," a teenage girl involved in the frame who has since realized her mistake, nurses him back to health. Then, the Kid takes her companions to the district attorney, and they confess their role in Mordant's plan, thus clearing Evans. With his health and good name restored, Evans tells the Kid that he loves her, and the couple makes plans for marriage.
