Mr. Morris, the owner of a large metropolitan department store, gives jobs to paroled ex-convicts in an effort to help them reform and go straight. Among his 'employed-prison-graduates' are Helen Roberts and Joe Dennis, working as sales clerks. Joe is in love with Helen and asks her to marry him, but she is forbidden to marry as she is still on parole, but she says yes and they are married. In spite of their poverty-level life, their marriage is a happy one until Joe discovers she has lied about her past, in order to marry him. Disillusioned, he leaves, goes back to his old gang and plans to rob the department store.

    This is quite an enjoyable film-noir from Fritz Lang that sees wealthy department store owner "Morris" (Harry Carey) use his position to try and help ex-convicts get back on their feet. For many of them it's a catch-22. If they don't have a job they don't get parole and vice versa - so he gives them jobs. Is he just being overly optimistic of might he really be making a difference?
