Bruce Armstrong, a young man with a history of drinking and gambling ills, agrees to be part of a diamond-smuggling operation in order to pay off his debts to Tom Canfield, a corrupt Broadway producer. Armstrong completes his task, but he kills another conspirator, Big Joe Snead, in a fight after the diamonds are taken by a third conspirator, Dude Talbot. Shortly before Armstrong is to die in the electric chair, Talbot confesses to the police that he had pilfered the diamonds, that Snead was a ruthless killer, and that Armstrong certainly killed Snead in self-defense.

Clara Bow (1905–1965) was a 16-year-old living in the New York City borough of Brooklyn when she won the 1921 nationwide "Fame and Fortune Contest" advertised in Motion Picture Magazine. After submitting their autobiography with a completed entry form clipped from the magazine, finalists were given multiple screen tests. As the winner, she was cast in a small role in the silent era film Beyond the Rainbow. Although her part was eventually edited out, the contest inspired her to pursue an acting career. She relocated to Los Angeles and signed with producer B.P. Schulberg. Her 1927 starring role in It, about an attractive and charismatic young woman, led the public to label Bow the "It girl". Over the next two decades, she would make more than 40 silent era films, the majority of them under contract to Paramount Pictures.
