What happens

Good-Time Girl is a 1948 British film noir-crime drama film directed by David MacDonald and starring Jean Kent, Dennis Price and Herbert Lom. A homeless girl is asked to explain her bad behaviour in the juvenile court, and says she's run away from home because she's unhappy there. They explain in detail what happened to the last girl who thought she could cope on her own, and this becomes the main plot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
