interesting last ten minutes
Shelby Barret (Barbara Stanwyck) is an equestrian working for wealthy widow Mrs. Nicholas (Genevieve Tobin). She calls her Nicko. Nicko introduces her friend Johnny Wyatt (Gene Raymond) to Shelby. He comes from an uppercrust family which has fallen on hard times. Rich playboy Gene Fairchild (John Eldredge) sets his sights on Shelby. When Johnny and Shelby get together, a jealous Nicko fires Shelby.
A better way to do this story is to turn it into a murder mystery. As it stands, the story meanders around and the characters go in and out. The point is to get to the court case. There is some interesting class and moral construction in that part. That's the most interesting section of the movie and only comes out for the last ten minutes.
