(OK) Hithc had a lot of things cleared up in his first talkie, dialogues can be banal but action neves, specially when the evil guy is followed to the ceiling of a national monument (anticipation of "Saboteur" ending), and women cal be deceiving...

Feeling neglected by her police detective boyfriend, Alice accepts an artist's invitation to go to his studio. His intentions turn aggressive, however, and Alice kills him in self-defence and flees the scene. Luckily her boyfriend is the investigating officer who, after finding a clue implicating her, hides the evidence. Just when it appears that she is in the clear a shadowy man appears with evidence that will convict her, unless they are willing to give him what he wants.
