The Wiser Sex plot
"Two Women In A Mighty Battle of Wits."
What could be worse for a defender of justice than being accused and tried for murder and sentenced to death in the electric chair? Still, this is what happened to Davis Rolfe, a brilliant young lawyer who has so far managed to rid the Big Apple of most of its mobster and blackmailer scum. Of course this did not go down well with the crooks, but after Rolfe had Morgan arrested, an elderly and powerful mobster, the latter is helped by his 'mole' Claire Foster. He has now managed to get Rolfe falsely accused of murdering his own cousin, Phil Long. Men are fools, I agree, but don't forget that there is a much smarter sex... because David Rolfe also has a girlfriend, society girl Margaret Hughes, who decides to go undercover, as a woman of easy virtue, to to seek proof of her lover's innocence.
