Newspaper editor (Grant Withers) gives suicidal young woman (Lois Wilson) a job on his paper, and she and another reporter both investigate the smuggling of illegal aliens into San Francisco, an investigation that brings danger and that may hit rather close to home for the editor. Decent performances from both leads and supporting characters add interest, as does a subplot involving lovers facing a guardian’s disapproval.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 209 for 2021.
