Danny Hawkins (Dane Clark), who lives in angst because his father was put to death for murder, accidentally kills Jerry Sykes (Lloyd Bridges) in a fight over Gilly Johnson (Gail Russell). Gilly loves Danny, but when she tries to persuade him to admit his guilt to authorities, he runs off. Told through a series of flashbacks, this Frank Borzage-helmed gem delves into themes of faults, guilt and redemption.
