Output (English): In the prologue to the film taking place in 1911 we learn that, being unable to care for her baby, Mary Bancroft Elsie Ferguson, had to give her up for adoption. Years later in 1930, we find Bancroft as a successful female lawyer in New York. She refuses to marry District Attorney John Remington John Halliday, because she doesnt want to tell him about her unfortunate past. Bancroft and Remington go to a nightclub one night where Nora Mason Marian Nixon works as a singer and dancer. Nora Mason is actually Bancrofts biological daughter but neither of them knows it. Although Nora is tired of the work she is doing and wants to settle down and marry Robert Lawrence Grant Withers, her adoptive father Dr. Henry Mason played by Wilbur Mack has other plans for her. Dr. Mason wants to sell Nora to Gregory Jackson William B. Davidson, who promises to star Nora in a show that will bring in lots of money, as long as she gives herself to Jackson. When Nora hears of this sordid deal from the lips of Dr. Mason, she kills him with a gun her adoptive motherCharlotte Walker has recently bought. Lawrence, with a friend who is an acquaintance of Bancrofts, goes to the office of Bancroft to ask her to defend Nora. At first reluctant, Bancroft finally decides to take the case. Nora at first refuses to tell the reasons for killing her adoptive father Dr. Mason until it comes out in court that she has been adopted. Nora then informs the jury the entire details of what had occurred prior to the murder; it is obliquely stated that she had been molested by Dr. Mason. When Bancroft finds out her client is actually her own daughter she passes out in court. Nora is acquitted and eventually forgives her real mother for abandoning her as a child.
