In this drama, a frustrated upper-class writer decides that he will find real inspiration by examining his subjects first-hand. This leads him to begin wandering about the seamiest side of town where he witnesses a murder. When an innocent man is arrested, the writer refuses to assist him as the knowledge that he has been “slumming” could destroy his career. The young man is sentenced to 15 years in prison. Upon his release, he hears his own story in a radio drama written by the author. This enables the ex-con to get the necessary evidence to clear his name.

Thanks for all that you do, Jon. We film fans greatly appreciate it!

Hi I was the baby in the film.. my name is Margaret but played baby Jack… my father worked at the film studio and my mother would meet him after work with me in the pram… The director saw me and said I was the baby he had been looking for…. My mother was paid as a chaperone .and a car would take us both to the studio… I earned more than my father did in a week… I have many pictures from this time in my life… I am now 77 and a grandmother to six girls… they love the thought that I was a film star!!
A beautiful story! Thank you so much for sharing, Margaret!
