Early expose of the illegal adoption business with Ford as the angry newspaper reporter crusading to stop the baby trade. Sleazy doctor Mander entices vulnerable mothers to his maternity home where he delivers the kids and talks the women into signing away the rights to their infants. Film
is hurt by the lengthy scenes of footprinting babies (an important detail that later hangs the villainous Doc) and the miscasting of Mander as the doctor.
