Martha Chapin stars as Mae Miller, a young woman married to an up and coming doctor. She wants the finer things in life that her husband simply cannot afford at the moment.
She is tricked into a gambling house by a woman whom she assumes to be a friend and soon finds herself over $10,000 in debt. The owner of the club then decides to tell Mae's husband John (Robert Frazer) but Mae will do anything to hide this shameful fact. The owner named "Lucky" Wilder (Wheeler Oakman) then makes Mae a slave in order to pay off her debt.
Mae's life spins further and further out of control until she kills Lucky during a police raid. This brings us back to the beginning of the movie were Mae was telling her story in flashback.
Nothing really gets resolved in this movie as Mae's fate is to be decided by judge and jury at the final fade out. This isn't too bad of a film and if you're into creaky exploitation films I'd say give this a try. It was tagged as "Adults Only" in it's day due to the ridiculous "Hayes Code".
