Pamela defies her autocratic father (Donald Crisp), and has a baby out of wedlock with her lover, Gerald Waring (Van Heflin, in his screen debut). Pamela raises her illegitimate daughter as her neice and becomes a crusading journalist. Eventually she married Thomas Lane (Herbert Marshall), a young diplomat. Hepburn's performance as the defiant young woman is considered the epitome of her feminist characterizations of the 1930s.
