Synopsis

A policeman's motherless daughter attracts the attentions of a wealthy and unscrupulous football hero at her school. He involves her in a wild life of parties, and she is expelled from school. Because of the disgrace, she runs away from home. Meanwhile, the football player shoots and kills the policeman when he attempts to break up a party. Just before the boy is to be arrested, he runs away with another woman, and both are killed when he drives the getaway car into a wall. The boyfriend of the policeman's daughter, who is a motorcycle policeman on the vice squad, raids the house of prostitution where she has been lured in time to save her from a dire fate.
