Famed criminal lawyer Kent ‘Barry’ Barringer, Otto Kruger, is a slick, charming attorney with a cynical view of justice and love. While romancing Molly, Muriel Evans, he takes a quick break to win a case—getting a clearly guilty man acquitted—and dismisses the client’s gratitude to God, insisting he deserves the credit. Barry returns to his playboy lifestyle, juggling women, including nightclub girl Cathy, Isabel Jewell, who finds a photo in his desk of a mysterious woman. Barry explains it’s his ex-wife, kept as a reminder that love is a lie.
