Short Review

Barbara Stanwyck is a dancehall girl who dances for money. She finds what she thinks is a good man, but he ends up being a bit of a weasel and no good. That's pretty much the film in a nutshell. It's really only of interest because of Stanwyck. Probably the weakest film I've seen her in, but I won't blame her since this was one pretty early in her career.
