Plot
A private plane crashes in the California mountains and a five-year-old boy survives. Little else is known except the child is an orphan.
Susan Chase believes that the boy could be hers. Before she was wed to lawyer Bill Chase, she was involved with a Marine during the war and became suicidal later, giving their child for adoption. Bill has never been told Susan's secret.
Newspaper reporter Phyllis Horn investigates the crash. She also has a secret, having given birth after a divorce from husband Bob Duffy, who has since remarried.
A third woman, Ann Lawrence, appears at the crash site. Ann was once a chorus girl involved with wealthy Gordon Crossley, who spurned her after she became pregnant. Scorned, Ann bludgeoned him to death and served five years in prison for manslaughter, losing contact with her child. The boy appears to be hers, but she believes that Susan is better qualified to provide the child with a good home.
