A pseudo-documentary in style with an emphasis on the daily work and routine of women police built around three different story lines. The first involves eighteen-year-old Bridget Foster (Peggy Cummins) who is picked up for shoplifting, but let off lightly. She has a small child, an often-absent husband and mother-in-law trouble. To compound that, she takes up with a petty hoodlum who commits a jewel robbery. The second story tells of a young girl who deserts the Army to marry a boy who needs her and commits bigamy in the process, but it all works out. The third story is about a baby who is mistreated by its father and stepmother, but is reunited, through police work, with its real mother.
