State's Attorney

Tom Cardigan is a well known lawyer. He is a powerful speaker in the courtroom. He wins his cases often. He drinks more than he should. The circle he works in is not a clean one. A gang leader paid for his schooling. Valentine Powers now asks him for a favour. He tells him to defend a woman. June Perry is on trial on a charge of prostitution. Cardigan takes the case. Then something he did not expect happens. He begins to care for her. Meanwhile he is thinking of running for governor. An attachment like this puts that plan in danger. John Barrymore and Helen Twelvetrees appear in the seventy nine minute film, an American production George Archainbaud finished in 1932.
