Plot summary

The title and credits are shown over a picture of a man carrying a woman. We open at night with a truck pulling up to the La Salle Detention Home for Girls. A dormitory room contains over a dozen beds occupied by sleeping women. We zoom in on one sobbing woman. Tracy (Jean Willes) tries to comfort her. Big Marge Collins (Tina Carver) tells her its just one big party. A scream outside the dormitory wakes the rest of the women. Marge says, "They're at it again." She adds, "There will be somebody dead in the morning." Eric (Friedrich von Ledebur) carries a screaming woman to the main house. He climbs the stairs to the second floor. He enters an attic room used as a "treatment facility." Dr. Murdock (Victor Jory) directs Eric to place the girl in the tub of water.

The next day Marge brings one of the girls to the Dispensary with her. Mrs. Ford (Ann Doran) asks what's wrong with her. Anna Sherman (Barbara Wilson) tells her she can't keep her food down. Marge is having a bandage on her leg changed by Dr. Freneau (George Lynn). Anna is sent to the infirmary and Marge is sent to an isolation cottage, more for insubordination and her smart mouth, than some concern about her infection.

Tracy has a job working for Carol Adams (Charlotte Austin). Carol is the Social Welfare representative and has only been on the job a few months. Tracy handles clerical tasks for Carol. Tracy asks if the screams the night before kept her awake. Carol heard nothing and thinks Tracy is exaggerating.
