An interesting story though not executed that well.
Policewoman Augusta Winthrope (Lucile Gleason) has a local dance hall on her beat. In the dance hall gangster Lewis (Jason Roberts Snr) is foiled by Augusta, who also rescues some of the unfortunate girls (not really elaborated on but basically prostitutes) at the dance hall. She puts them up at her own home. Lewis seeks revenge and murders one of the girls (Barbara Weeks), also manipulating local do-gooder Mrs Worthington (Laura Tredwell) to cause Augusta's suspension. Augusta's only chance to save the girls and save her job is to prove Lewis is a murderer and get him put away for good...
A decent crime story though let down by terrible pacing and a little too much padding by irrelevant characters. The film is worth sticking with, and isn't a long film (though feels a lot longer!)
