'Yvonne Pavis is featured as Sally, the beautiful but illiterate girl of the slums who has been adopted by two drunkards. The story tells of the girl's rise from squalor and poverty to her old position in life, from which she was kidnapped when a child. Sally's happy times with the rough and ready men and women of the district are well presented. The discovery of Sally by her parents, whose adopted son has already found an interest in the girl, is a happy ending.'

'It effectively compares the beneficial results of a good moral life with the misfortunes accompanying one of base immorality. Bernard St Clare, a psychologist, believes that good environment is all that is needed to reform the wrongdoer, and sets out to prove his theory. In his travels he meets Hazel Dalwood, who, in a moment of madness is guilty of a crime for which society has shunned her. His subsequent adventures, in which she plays a prominent part, leave him satisfied of the correctness of his convictions, but bring him also great unhappiness.'
