Mary Turner is
in jail for stealing from her employer - Gilder Emporium, although
she vehemently denies that she stole anything. |
 |
Before being
taken to prison, she asks to see Gilder. Although she pleads
with him to pay fair wages to his workers, he dismisses her with
a wave of his hand. Mary vows that he will pay for every minute
she spends behind bars. |
 |
After Mary
is released from prison, her inability to make a living causes
her to attempt suicide by jumping in the river. Joe Garson rescues
her and takes her to Aggie Lynch's apartment. |
 |
A year later: "The
results of a few successful breach of promise suits - due to
Aggie's winsomeness and Mary's cleverness." |
 |
Aggie tells the
detective, "But, Mr. Cassidy! We haven't broken the law!"
then adds, "Well, maybe we've bent it a little." |
 |
Joe brings English Eddie to meet Mary. "Eddie
has a job he wants to pull that will net us half a million,"
he says. |
 |
Mary shocks Gilder
when she tells him that she is the girl he sent to prison four
years ago. "You owe me for all that, and I have just begun
to collect!" she tells him. |
 |
"Joe, you've broken your promise to me. For God's
sake, leave this house before it's too late!" |
 |
Mary is interrogated by Inspector Burke for the murder
of English Eddie. |
 |
Finally, Richard learns the truth about her unjust
imprisonment. |
