The Way of a Woman Synopsis
Nancy Lee is a well-bred member of the Virginia aristocracy. Her father forbids her marriage to the man she loves for reasons of social inequality. She consents to marry a wealthy man on her social plane in order to help her family out of difficulty, but he eventually leaves her a desolate widow in New York. Her efforts to extricate herself from this dilemma further subject her to shame, and disaster looms unless the young man she loved can save her.

Joan runs away from home and becomes a cashier at a restaurant, but quits when the manager attempts to make love to her. She meets Louie, with whom she was once friendly, and he forces her to steal for him. She is caught and sentenced to a state reformatory.
"The Way of a Woman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Face Value" offers its own unique cult appeal.
