Barrio chino (1933)
Jenny está embarazada de un joven que muere en el terremoto de San Francisco de 1906 y, después de dar a luz, decide poner a su hijo bajo la custodia de un matrimonio rico. Años después, gracias a la protección de un político corrupto, se convierte en la principal 'madame' de San Francisco, además de participar en diversas actividades ilegales. Su hijo, ya adulto, se propone acabar con la corrupción y los negocios sucios, sin sospechar que su propia madre está implicada en ellos.
