Lisa refuses to leave him despite his deplorable ways, so he takes drastic measures to ensure that she will no longer be harmed by his actions and reputation.

Average viewer score of 5.7/10 from 3 ratings.
An early talkie that was made very much in the style of a silent film, which is sadly very distracting. The dialogue is thin, very predictable and overly dramatic. The story drags on with one scene following predictably after another. One can see why John Gilbert fell out of favour after such a performance, even if not his fault.
