Synopsis:

When we meet Mary Martin (Loretta Young), she is on trial for murder. The prosecutors think she deserves to be put on death row, and Mary's sure the jury will think the same. As Mary waits for the jury to deliver their decision, she begins to reminisce on her life. Flashing back to many different years beginning in her youth, the viewer learns of Mary's struggles, from the loss of her mother in 1919 to her first run-in with the law in 1923 and so on. As these flashbacks progress, the truth of how Mary ended up on trial for murder is slowly revealed before the film jumps back into the courtroom to reveal her fate.

A young woman is on trial for murder. In flashback, we learn of her struggles to overcome poverty as a teenager -- a mistaken arrest and prison term for shoplifting and lack of employment lead to involvement with gangsters. In a brothel, she meets a young lawyer, scion of a wealthy and prestigious family, who falls for her and helps her turn around her life. But her past catches up with her, and she must face the music rather than cause him scandal.

Midnight Mary is a 1933 film that reveals in flashbacks the hard life of a woman on trial for murder. It stars Loretta Young, Ricardo Cortez, and Franchot Tone.
