Mary Clare and Lewis Casson play a couple who are injured in a train crash.Clare gives birth to a son and Casson is paralysed and embittered and must live the rest of his life in a wheelchair and give up law.To help support their son at university Clare buys a failing tea room.She is in despair when along comes George Carney to offer to turn the place into a night club,but really a clip joint.It makes a lot of money although Clare does not know what is going on.Her son meets and falls in love with a singer/hostess at the club.Eventually Clare gets wise to Carneys tricks and his attempt to get her to buy the nightclub.Clare and Casson struggle over the signed agreement,Carney draws a pistol,a shot rings out and he falls dead.This whole story is framed by the court hearing.Casson has returned to law to defend his wife.He turns to the camera as if we the viewer are a member of the jury and states that no jury could possibly find his wife guilty followed by "The End " title..More money than usual seems to have been spent on sets for this quota quickie directed by the noted Bernard Vorhaus.Whilst no masterpiece it deserves an airing now and again.
