Model prisoner Mildred Lynch(Jane Greer)receives an early parole from the State Prison for Women. She served her two years for forging checks and convinced the board of her changed ways. As part of her parole she must stay in contact with parole officer Joan Wilburn(Lizabeth Scott), who wants to befriend Mildred, who wants to start fresh with the changed name of Diane. Joan realizes the parolee has a chip on her shoulder and is very paranoid. None the less, Diane finds an apartment and a job at the hospital on the night shift. She meets a handsome hospital visitor, reporter Larry Collins(Dennis O'Keefe)and practically forces him to fall in love with her. There is a problem here with the fact that Larry is already in a relationship with Joan...yes, Diane's parole officer. Diane manages to hide the facts from Larry that she has been in prison and that she knows he and Joan have history. Scott and Greer are notable in their roles. Other players include: Fay Baker, Don Bledsoe, Bert Freed, and Irene Tedrow.
