Tarnished Lady was claptrap about a girl who married for money and later regretted it. My Sin was a routine rigmarole about a lady who tried to conceal a Central American past in a Manhattan interior decorating establishment. The Cheat is along the same lines-about a girl who loses $20,000 gambling and to pay it, has to borrow from the villain of the piece. Her husband gives her money to cover the loan but the villain...
