An idealistic young attorney, Carroll Aiken (Claire Trevor), just embarking on her career, befriends Gracie and gives her a dress so she will be attractive when she meets Everett at a planned picnic. Mr. Clay finds Gracie with Everett, drags her home and gives her a terrible beating. During the melee , he is accidentally killed, but she is accused of murdering him.
