Synopsis

"Miss Rich has been unjustly accused and driven from home by a jealous husband. She sinks to the depths and finally winds up as 'Shanghai Rose' in a low dive in San Francisco. Reformers demand the district attorney (husband of Rose) close the joint. The D. A. sends his son, a deputy, to investigate. Rose recognizes her son, as does Kahn, the gang leader, who threatens to reveal Rose's true identity to her son. A police raid follows--Rose, fearing Kahn's threatened exposure, shoots the gangster, and goes on trial for murder. Then the story goes into the court room. ... Finally freed, the woman jumps off the ferry dock with a fade-out title, 'come unto me all ye who are heavy laden.' " ( Motion Picture News , 8 Jun 1929, p1967.)
