A woman (Aline MacMahon) and her younger sister (Ann Dvorak) run a service station and diner in the desert. Their lives are disrupted by the arrival of a pair of thieves (Preston Foster and Lyle Talbot) who knew her from her past and a pair a wealthy recently divorced women and their chauffeur. There is a mix of women wanting to run their own lives but men always intervening. There is some build up to the climax and some nice comic asides (Glenda Farrell and Ruth Donnelly). Aline MacMahon gives a good performance as the world weary woman trying to put her past behind her, but Ann Dvorak has little to work with. There are loose parallels to the later Petrified Forrest, but this has less of the psychology in it, making it a lighter watch.
