Plot is not so far away from Stella Dallas

Plot

Nan Taylor is a member of a gang of bank robbers, posing as a regular customer to distract the security guard while her accomplices take the money. Her cover is blown by a policeman who had arrested her before, and she is arrested again. Reform-minded radio star David Slade falls in love with her, and gets her released as a favor from District Attorney Simpson. When she confesses that she is guilty, though, Simpson has her imprisoned.

At San Quentin State Prison, Nan meets fellow inmates Linda, "Sister Susie", and Aunt Maggie, as well as prison matron Noonan. Slade continues to send Nan letters, but she refuses his entreaties. Meanwhile, Susie has a fancy for Slade, and resents Nan for spurning him. Her bank accomplice, Lefty, visits her, and tells her that Don is now imprisoned in the men's section on the other side of the wall. Lefty tells her to make a map of the women's section and a copy of the matron's key, so the men can escape via the women's section of the prison. Nan believes Slade told the prison officials about the escape plot and Don is shot dead as he gets to Nan's cell to break her out. Nan is given another year, and is not allowed visitors, but vows to seek revenge on Slade.

When she is released, Nan goes to a revival group meeting hosted by Slade. He is glad to see her, and she is escorted to a back room, where he professes his love for her. She scoffs and accuses him of turning in her bank robber accomplices. She shoots at him, but only hits him in the arm. Sister Susie sees this from outside from a keyhole, but Slade denies that he has been shot, and Slade and Nan announce their intention to marry.
