After a military officer gets Ann Vickers pregnant and leaves her, her baby dies (in Havana, hint, hint). Feeling stunned, Ann devotes herself to further social work, taking a job in a women's prison. However, when she tries to improve the conditions there, she incurs the wrath of the sheriff and warden and loses her job. She writes a book about the harsh realities of the prison and begins a romance with a married judge, Barney Dolphin (Walter Huston), while running a womens' prison. She has a child out of wedlock and is forced out her job, while Barney goes to prison.
Or something like that. And it's all crammed into 73 minutes!
