The Deep Purple

“The subtle plots and schemes of the money-mad crooks who operate in the throbbing White Light District. And a Girl-lovely-wholesome-innocent-trusting. Why should she be there?”

Doris Moore is a country girl who is conned by two crooks, Harry Leland and Pop Clark. They convince the naive girl to come with them to New York City and play the badger game on William Lake. But the intervention of Kate Fallon, who runs the gang's New York home, saves the innocent and traps the guilty. Instead of tricking Lake, Doris marries him.
