MARY LEE IN HER MOST BRILLANT HIT! A Thrill You'll Never Forget As This Heart-Warming Real Life Drama Stirringly Infold On The Screen!

Elizabeth 'Liz' Gorty (Mary Lee) lives with her mother and stepfather in a ramshackle boarding house in 'Shantytown' on the 'wrong side of the tracks.' Bill Allen (John Archer) and his wife Virginia (Marjorie Lord) rent a room from the Gorty's and 'Liz', always a tomboy, resolves to become a lady like Virginia, who is expecting a baby. Bill is a fugitive from the law because he was innocently involved in a crime pulled off by the 'Ace' Landers gang. Landers (Noel Madison) locates Bill and the latter is forced to drive a get-away car in a bank robbery. The gang is caught but Bill escapes. Meanwhile, Virginia is ill and is attended by kindly old 'Doc' Herndon (Harry Davenport). 'Liz' manages to get on an amateur-hour broadcast, sings 'On The Corner of Sunshine and Main' and 'It Had To Be You', accompanied by Marty Malneck (Matty Malneck) and his Orchestra , and she tosses in a plea for Bill to come home.
