Virtue (1932)

Taxicab driver Jimmy Doyle (Pat O'Brien) marries a girl of the streets, Mae (Carole Lombard); overlooking her past, he sets out to make an honest woman of her. But during the reformation period, Mae returns to a hotel of ill repute to collect the $200 that she had once loaned to a street-walking girl friend. Jimmy mistakenly thinks that she has turned pro again, and her situation worsens when she is implicated in a murder and jailed awaiting a court trial.
