Synopsis
[The following plot summary is based on the English-language version of this film, Manslaughter ; character names refer to that version.] Lydia Thorne, a spoiled and selfish girl of wealth and position, meets Dan O'Bannon, a serious-minded district attorney, but their growing affection is disturbed by her thoughtlessness in speeding on the road and by a petty theft involving her maid, Evans. While being chased by a policeman for speeding, she causes the officer to be killed, and despite the efforts of an able defense lawyer, she is convicted of manslaughter and vows vengeance against O'Bannon. Prison discipline awakens her dormant kindness and generosity; meanwhile, O'Bannon resigns his position and leads an aimless, wild life, but eventually he manages to pull himself together. Released from prison, Lydia demands that O'Bannon's new employer discharge him. O'Bannon protests, claiming that he still loves her; and though she sends him away, later she finds happiness in his arms.

Notes
This was the Spanish-language version of the 1930 Paramount film Manslaughter, which was directed by George Abbott and starred Claudette Colbert and Fredric March. Although the English-language version was made in the U.S., the Spanish version, along with French, German and Swedish versions, was produced at the Paramount studios in Joinville, France. No information has been located concerning any exhibition of the French, German or Swedish versions in the U.S. The French version, entitled La réquisitoire, was directed by Dimitri Buchowetzki and starred Marcelle Chantal and Fernand Fabre; the German version, entitled Leichtsinnige Jugend, was directed by Leo Mittler and starred Camilla Horn and Walter Rilla; the Swedish version, entitled Lika inför lagen, was directed by Gustaf Bergman and starred Lillebil Ibsen and Karin Swanström.
Some sources include as cast members in the Spanish version Antonia Arévalo, Antonio Gentil, Alfonso Granada, Rafaela Lozano and Manuel Bernardos, but their participation in the film has not been confirmed. The Spanish version was shown under the title La homicida in Mexico City, beginning November 10, 1931.
