Just before Christmas, Lee Leander is caught shoplifting. It is her third offense. She is prosecuted by John Sargent. He postpones the trial because it is hard to get a conviction at Christmas time. But he feels sorry for her and arranges for her bail, and ends up taking her home to his mother for Christmas. Surrounded by a loving family (in stark contrast to Lee's own family background) they fall in love. This creates a new problem: how do they handle the upcoming trial? 　　译文(2): 就在圣诞节前，李 · 利安德被抓到在商店行窃。这是她第三次犯罪了。她被约翰 · 萨金特起诉。他推迟了审判，因为在圣诞节很难定罪。但是他为她感到难过，安排了她的保释，最后把她带回家给他的母亲过圣诞节。在一个充满爱的家庭(与李的家庭背景形成鲜明对比)中，他们坠入了爱河。这就产生了一个新问题: 他们如何处理即将到来的审判？
