A court room is an unlikely setting for a love story, especially when its between the prosecutor and the woman on trial. Diamonds are stolen, and word goes out on the street to pick up Anna Rose Malone. The prosecutor, Jack, is looking forward to starting his Christmas vacation, and is looking to hold the case over until after the holiday.
The judge isn’t going for it. Anna isn’t thrilled over Jack’s suggestion, but ends up in his custody. Forced to spend the holiday together, Jack learns more about her amnesia claim, and being a kleptomaniac. The two learn they have common roots in Indiana. If they make the trip out of the city together, they stand a chance to spend the holidays at home with relatives.
Revisiting her troubled past and relatives, things don’t look very rosy for Anna, Jack takes her home with him to meet his family. Passing her off as a business aquaintance, Jack inserts Anna into his well balanced family. Should he break the truth about her to his mother? Mom refuses to believe Anna is anything but charming, and welcomes her despite her shady beginnings.
Parties, dances, and soon folks who don’t know any better begin to think that Jack and Anna are a couple.
With the new year comes the time to face the reality of what waits for them back in the city. Mom lays it out that her son is a hardworking man to get where he is as a lawyer. No free rides for him.
Will she be able to turn over a new leaf? Is Jack willing to throw away his hard won career? What will it look like for a lawyer to marry a crook? Back in the court room, Jack is forced to be the hard nosed prosecutor. Is there any hope for a good outcome for the romance?
