The story

While investigating a bogus murder story in a black neighborhood, a reporter, Lucy "Tex" Warren (Claire Trevor) notices a little girl named Sunny who appears to be white. Tex also encounters Sunny's mother, Flora Jackson (Fredi Washington), a fair-skinned black seamstress. Suspicious of the relationship between the two, Tex and other reporters investigate, only to turn up evidence (photos and a hospital record) that support Flora's claim.
