Directed by Rudolph Maté

With Loretta Young, Kent Smith, Alexander Knox, Tommy Rettig and Otto Hulett

A woman, distraught because of her recent miscarriage, accidentally injures a child in a hit-and-run accident, but she keeps the incident a secret. Overcome with guilt and remorse, she seeks out the child in the hospital and attempts to help him regain his speech, even though, if successful, it might mean he will implicate her for the crime.
