Ex-circus performer Zita Johann (as Nora Moran) becomes a New York chorus girl. She meets up-and-coming politician Paul Cavanagh (as Dick Crawford), and they begin an affair. Since Mr. Cavanagh is married, he sets up a "love shack" for trysts with Ms. Johann. After a few months of private bliss, an accidental murder ends their love affair. District Attorney Alan Dinehart (as John Grant) is assigned to prosecute Johann. Mr. Dinehart helped Cavanagh to win a state governorship, and is the brother of his cheated-on wife. Dinehart also narrates the story. Phil Goldstone's "The Sin of Nora Moran" is a structurally interesting, but ultimately fair-to-middling movie.
