In this Charles Belden story, as in its real life counterpart young million- aire, one of America's social elite. has died. and he is survived by q wife and child. His family, with an utter disregard for the child s feelings or general well-being, pro- ceeds to blacken the mothers char acter in court in an effort to gain custody of the baby.
 The trial creates a nationwide sensation, as the tabloids scream it's scurrilous testimony in bowling headlines and suggestive pictures. The mother, fighting alone against the insurmountable odds of num- bers and money, has little chance for the whole scrupulous, often ly- ing witnesses, picture her as a pleasure mad, moral weakling.
