Marjorie (Constance Worth) is an overworked laundress who treats herself to a night on the town, but a cocktail and a few puffs of “murder weed” scramble her moral compass and leads her into the arms of ruthless procurer Tony Kilonis (Willy Castello). After being exploited as a call girl and eventually imprisoned in a brothel, Marjorie escapes and confronts Tony, climaxing in one of the most unconventional endings of any courtroom drama. Directed by Herman E. Webber (\u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Vice Baron\u003c\/em\u003e) and featuring Blanche Mehaffey and Clara Kimball Young.
