In this crime drama an African-American college graduate leaves his Southern home and goes to seek his fortune in Chicago. He stays at a hotel which later turns out to be a cathouse. One of the proprietors takes a shine to the lad and tries to con him into a life of crime. The boy refuses, so the crooked woman gets tough by framing him for her lover's murder. The wicked woman then goes out on a bender and ends up killed by a train. Now the boy has no alibi. A trial ensues, but fortunately, a last-minute witness appears and saves him. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
