The Girl Who Came Back

• Watchlist

Country girl Sheila goes to work in a city department store. After a quick courtship she marries Ray Underhill, unaware that he is a car thief. She is sent to prison with him, where he meets Norries, a swindler who has hidden his money but intends to pay back his victims. Convict 565 tells Norries he does not expect to live long and offers to transfer to him a diamond mine he owns in Africa. Norries and Underhill escape, and Underhill discovers the location of Norries' money. After Sheila finishes her sentence, Ray joins her and is arrested again, but not before telling her where Norries has hidden the money. Sheila takes the money and goes to South Africa. Eventually she meets Norries, who has secured the diamond mine. Believing that Underhill is dead, Sheila marries Norries, who decides to return to America and return the stolen funds. Sheila discovers that Underhill is still alive, but when Underhill is hiding from detectives, he is mistakenly shot by his pal Valhays. As Underhill falls, he shoots and hits Valhays. Sheila and Norries realize that the police are not after them, so Norries pays back the swindled money.
