The 16-year-old beautiful girl Abel (played by Linda Darnell) left her depressed original family and went to London to join a man named Bruce (played by Jefferson Pascal). Soon, the young couple spent all their savings. To make a living, Bruce went out to sea and became a smuggler, while Abel accidentally ended up in prison. At this time, she was shocked to find that she was already pregnant with Bruce's child. With the help of the robber Jack (played by John Russell), Abel escaped from prison and was later sold to the theatre by Jack. There, Abel met Duke Radcliffe (played by Richard Greene). Soon, the two got married and Abel became the duchess in one leap. Just at this critical juncture, Bruce reappeared before Abel and asked her for the child that belonged to him.[Collapse]
