Synopsis
Expelled from college for staying out after hours, Dixie Calhoun takes a job as secretary to Bruce Neil, a young lawyer to whom she soon becomes engaged. Bruce takes Dixie home to meet his father, John Neil (the district attorney and the board chairman of Dixie's former college), and John persuades her to give up Bruce to avoid ruining his son's career. Dixie goes to an employment agency, and one of the clerks attempts to have his way with her. Dixie hits him with a brass urn, killing him. She is placed on trial for murder, and John Neil makes a vitriolic attack on her character. Bruce comes to her defense, however, and convinces the jury of her essential goodness. Dixie is found not guilty, and she and Bruce are reconciled.
