This old Clara Bow melodrama moves quickly and has a story that holds your attention. Bow plays a young woman trying to get a new start after being unjustly sentenced to a term in a reformatory. The story that follows is not very plausible, and it has a couple of rather routine elements, but it does have a lot of action and creates some suspense. Bow's performances and many of her films relied on her personality and her contemporary appeal, rather than on depth or creativity, and thus they have not always held up as well over the years as the best movies of the era have. But she's usually worth watching, and while this one does show its age, it's still a decent film that is worth a look for fans of silent movies.
