Within the Law

Mary Turner is a store clerk who is wrongly convicted for stealing and given a prison sentence to make her an "example" to other employees. Upon getting out of prison, she sets up a gang that engages in shady activities that are just within the boundaries of the law. She also marries the son of the owner of the store where she used to work. A member of the gang attempts to rob the home of Turner's new father-in-law at the urging of a police stooge attempting to entrap the gang. When the stooge reveals the plot, the gang member kills him, leaving Turner and her new husband at the scene to be found by the police. It seems that Turner may go to prison again, but she is saved when the guilty party confesses that she had no involvement in the crimes.
