A 1930s melodrama balancing romantic devotion against moral compromise, where a doctor's good intentions collide with the violent world of gangsters and desperation.

Dr. Kildare treats and falls for impoverished ex-con Janet Haley, widow of a bank robber, who can't find her baby. Later she helps Kildare sew up gangster Hanlon in a tavern back room. Kildare pursues Janet and enlists Hanlon to help her; the gangster's solution, not surprisingly, is violent.
