Synopsis
Judith Lee, a wild young flapper, is injured in an automobile accident and accepts a ride home in a passing car driven by Frank Delmore, a smalltime hood whose specialty is blackmailing women. Delmore then takes her to an East Side dancehall where he gets into a fight. The police are called, and Judith ends up in jail. Margy Hopkins, Delmore's accomplice and mistress, is arrested along with Judith and persuades the unsuspecting girl to plead guilty to the charge against her. Judith takes the girl's advice, not realizing that she has been charged with prostitution; Delmore then uses Judith's criminal record to blackmail her mother. Delmore is mysteriously killed, and Judith, who believes her mother to be guilty of the murder, falsely confesses to the crime to protect her. Judith is sentenced to be executed, but Mrs. Hamilton, a police matron, persuades Margy, who shot Delmore out of jealousy, to confess to the crime. Judith is freed and, having learned her lesson, gives her heart to John Harding, a conservative young lawyer who worked with much diligence to secure her release.
