The story

In San Francisco, Jan Ashe is very close to her father, Stephen, who raised her by himself, as her mother died in childbirth. However, Stephen's upper-class family has all but disowned him and his free-spirited daughter, Jan, due to his alcoholism and her free spirited willfulness. A skilled defense lawyer, Stephen successfully defends gangster Ace Wilfong from a false murder charge, despite his knowledge of Ace's gambling operations and other illegal activities.
