Fallen Angel plot
"The creator of "Laura" does it again!"
Poor and itinerant Eric Stanton is kicked off the bus at night at a small town because he cannot afford the fare. Eric manages to arrange some food at the local coffee shop 'Pop Eats' and there he meets the attractive, but also unruly waitress Stella. Eric falls in love with Stella and visits 'Pop Eats' regularly. But cop Mark Judd seems to be having more success with Stella. Stella doesn't like Eric and he thinks she will love him when he has enough money. Eric therefore makes love to the naive mayor's daughter June Mills and he then marries her for her money. One day Stella is found murdered and Eric is the prime suspect. Even though June has learned about Eric's motives for marrying her, she still loves him and helps him find the real killer of Stella.
