Hard to believe that rubbish like this survives from 1925, while many other most desirable movies have either been deliberately destroyed or crumbled into dust. The ridiculous plot has small-town girl, Mary Barry, played by Gladys Walton, whom lecherous magazine editor, D.C. Cortelyou (Colt Albertson) selects as girl of the year, go to New York where she is pursued by wolves and gangsters. Miss Walton is no great beauty, even though her one claim to fame was that she took up with Al Capone and refused to sever this connection even when the studio threatened to invoke the morals clause in her contract. So the studio did in fact throw her to the wolves. Whether this independent quickie was made before or after that event, I've no idea. Suffice it to say that this is a Poverty Row film with a totally uninspiring cast, filmed on a tight budget, slackly directed by Burton L. King. In other words, it's a movie with no interest whatever, except as an Al Capone footnote.
