Crime Doctor
A man's body is hurled from a car speeding down a country road late at night. It is discovered by some local residents and they take the wounded man, Phil Morgan (Warner Baxter), to a nearby hospital. When the latter regains consciousness, it develops that the presumed-accident caused him to lose all knowledge of his identity and not a clue can be found among his personal effects. Meanwhile, the attending nurses have nick-named him Ordway, and the name sticks. On leaving the hospital Ordway goes to live with Doctor Carey (Ray Collins) and the doctor helps him build a new life. He studies medicine and ten years later he has become a highly respected and successful psychiatrist. He is particularly skillful in the rehabilitation of criminals. In his work, he meets Grace Fielding (Margaret Lindsay, an attractive social worker, and falls in love with her. Eventually, by virtue of his outstanding work among criminals, Doctor Ordway is made head of the state parole board. A prisoner, Pearl Adams (Dorothy Tree), applies for a parole. It is refused and, in a fury, she reveals Dr. Ordway's former identity as Phil Morgan, clever criminal master-mind who worked with a gang including Pearl. Morgan was the one who put the money from a $200, 000 payroll robbery. Later, when the gang met in Morgan's hotel room, the valise was empty.
