What happens

I'd Give My Life is a 1936 American drama film directed by Edwin L. Marin and written by George O'Neil based upon the play The Noose by H. H. Van Loan and Willard Mack. The film stars Guy Standing, Frances Drake, Tom Brown, Janet Beecher, Robert Gleckler, and Helen Lowell. The film was released on August 14, 1936, by Paramount Pictures. This was Richard A. Rowland's first film with Paramount. The play was previously filmed as The Noose (1928). The Hays Production Code had come into effect between the original 1928 film and this remake, and the script was watered down to fit the code, which some critics felt hurt the film. The film failed to renew its copyright, so it's now in the public domain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
