Young Lena Rivers, who was born out of wedlock, goes to live with a rich uncle. Unfortunately, her uncle's wife and daughter make no secret of their dislike of Lena and that they don't want her in their family.
The problem with this film is that there is way too much hard-luck back-story around the central character "Lena Rivers" (a glamorous, but somehow lacking Charlotte Henry) - there are entire aristocratic families with less ancestral baggage than this poor girl. All that works, as a writing opportunity, up to a point - but after twenty minutes or so I found I just didn't care for her very much and was therefore looking around for something else to distract me - and sadly, that was not to be. Usually there are plenty of quirky supporting cast (characters) to watch but they are too introspective and self-involved. Clarence Muse is - by a country mile - the stand out character as "Curfew" but otherwise I felt the hour drag somewhat.
