"This Infection Was Contracted Innocently Too! Years Ago, Through A Kiss!"...

After imbibing multiple, alcoholic drinks at local "speakeasys" and saloons, Donald Bradley, an innocent 35 year old youngster, and a "fun girl" named Elise Cooper, find themselves giving vent to the sinful lusts of their flesh. Burning in their unnatural desire, Donald and this temptress do that of which only Satan would approve!

Some time later, Donald marries Joan, his true love.

Oh no!

Elise contacts Donald, telling him the heinous truth! The clap of thunder sounds, as Donald realizes the cost of his momentary lapse in morality! Indeed, he's been infected by more than mere carnality!

Upon telling poor Joan just what has happened, scandal, humiliation, suicide, and utter despair commence!

Next, a doctor takes Donald on a tour through the nightmare world of Venereal Disease! DAMAGED LIVES shows the stark reality of what happens when young people act naturally, instead of doing what they're told! Heed the warning! Life was never supposed to be fun!...

Anecdotes
Although the film's credits say it was produced and released by Weldon Pictures, it was in fact filmed and distributed by Columbia. Weldon Pictures was a dummy company set up by Columbia, which didn't want to be associated with the film's topic, syphilis. Producer Nat Cohn was the brother of Columbia's head, Harry Cohn.

Gaffes
The uncredited child actor in a scene with actresses Almeda Fowler and Marceline Day interrupts their conversation by pushing his toy grizzly bear's growl button repeatedly, obviously not in the script. Day, playing his mother, improvises: "No, no, dear. Here, Mother'll take this," and takes the toy from him to the opposite side of the set where he can't get to it. For the rest of the scene the boy stays frozen in a state of consternation.
