The Story of Temple Drake

“I CAN NEVER FACE THE WORLD AGAIN!”

Temple Drake (Miriam Hopkins), the granddaughter of a respected small-town judge, wants nothing more than to be admired and to keep every boy at the dance guessing. Her recklessness strands her at a bootleggers' hide-out, where she falls into the hands of Trigger (Jack La Rue). Stephen Roberts adapts Faulkner's notorious novel, and the lawyer Stephen Benbow (William Gargan) is the one person who might reach her.
