Here's something for all you die-hard Joan Crawford fans. Here's your chance to own one of Ms. Crawford's earliest and best films: Paid! For those of you who are not familiar with it, read the synopsis of the movie below:
*Mary Turner (Joan), a shopgirl, is sentenced to a 3-year prison term for a crime she did not commit, and she declares in the courtroom that she will someday even the score for the way in which she has been treated by the law. After serving her term, she becomes associated with three criminals: Joe Garson (Robert Armstrong), Agnes Lynch (Marie Prevost), and Red (George Cooper), with whom she instigates numerous activities bordering on embezzlement, blackmail, and larceny, but which are always within the law.
To gain revenge on her former employer, she marries his son, Bob (Douglass Montgomery), who loves her and for whom she comes to care. His father, Edward Gilder (Purnell Pratt), attempts to have the marriage annulled, and failing in this, he persuades Eddie Griggs (Tyrell Davis) to act as informer and aid Joe and Red in robbing Bob's home. But Mary learns of the scheme and exposes Eddie, causing Joe to kill him. The police do not believe her claim of self-defense, but Joe is ultimately captured and through third degree methods is forced to confess, thus freeing Mary to be happily reunited with Bob.
