I'm not sure if the folks at Monogram had put enough money in the electric meter for this - it looks like it has been filmed during a blackout! Randolph Scott ("Morley") is an intern who's wife dies in childbirth. Stricken with grief, he cannot face bringing up their new son, so he is taken in by Beryl Mercer and Joseph Cawthorn.
