Handcuffs or Kisses

"A wonderful story of an innocent orphan girl sent to a reform school for the guilt of her cousin. What the reform school did to her is very true of many of our present day reformatories."

Orphan Lois Walton is treated unkindly by her aunt, who has her placed in a reformatory. She and the other inmates are badly abused but are afraid to complain, and she remains silent after a riot is subdued. She arouses the sympathy of Peter Madison, a lawyer who conducts an investigation.
