The D.A. has taken a bullet and attorney Paula Rogers (Constance Bennett) has taken the case, defending the shooter who has a history of racketeering and blackmail. Opposing Rogers is special prosecutor Robert Larrimore (Brian Aherne), who recently proposed marriage to her. Will his feelings for her compromise his efforts? "You can't compromise with truth," Larrimore declares.
