The film is about a world-weary woman (Francis) nicknamed "Spot White" at the local brothel-bar who does what she can to survive. Curtiz used cutting edge wipes and opticals in the film.[2] Future child star Shirley Temple appeared in a walk-on role as the daughter of the Donnelly and Littlefield characters.[3]
