MIDNIGHT COURT.

Victor Shanley (Litel) is a washed-up former district attorney who is arrested during a police raid on skid row. While being arraigned in night court, he encounters his estranged ex-wife, Carol O'Neil (Dvorak), who is working as a court reporter. He plans to work as a defense lawyer for criminal boss Al Kruger and his ring of auto thieves. Shanley still feels compelled to do good deeds, mostly influenced by Carol's kind nature.
