Comment/Synopsis

A woman and her rich playboy boyfriend drive off to elope. They rent a room into which a man who has just robbed a jewelly store enters, shoots a ploiceman and then dies having been shot by the policeman. She escapes by taking the place of a cook to a rich man. The plot is not great and much of the acting is wooden except for a good early talkie performance from Mary Astor and a feisty performance from Natalie Moorhead, in this the last film directed by Donald Crisp.
